This will be a little maths heavy, but you shouldn't have any problem with this.

There is a reason why I tell you to fix your spending system.

Not to spend less.

Not to earn more.

Just spend with different tools.

Take a look at these screenshots:

This is a flight from Copenhagen to Tokyo (Copenhagen because I am close there at the moment - you can do the same flight searches from Frankfurt, Berlin etc)

Now how do you calculate?

Because for the exact same business class on 14. April 2026, you are either paying 3048 euros or 403 euros. That's a 8x difference.

And how much are each mile worth?

✈️ What you have:

• Cash price: €3,048
• Miles option: 85,000 miles + €403.46

💡 Step-by-step value of miles

You’re effectively “saving” this much by using miles:

€3,048 − €403.46 = €2,644.54

That €2,644.54 is what your 85,000 miles are covering.

📊 Value per mile

€2,644.54 ÷ 85,000 miles = €0.0311 per mile

👉 ≈ 3.1 euro cents per mile

AND THAT IS CRAZY.

THIS IS REAL LIFE EXAMPLE!!!!

NOT RANDOM THINGS OUT OF THE BLOG ARTICLES!

🧠 What this means (important insight)

• 3.1 cents per mile is VERY strong value
• Typical Flying Blue value:
  • ❌ Bad: ~1.0–1.5 cents
  • 👍 Good: ~2.0 cents
  • 🔥 Excellent: 3.0+ cents (your case)

And you will not be able to get access to any of these cheap Business class flights.

If you keep spending the money you are spending - the way you are spending.

Now you have to decide.

Keep paying with bank transfers, Paypals, basic debit or credit cards.

Or upgrade your system and get Business Class flights at Economy prices.

The choice is yours.
