I was on a mileage run, less than 100 miles on a regional prop. The round trip used the same plane and crew. There was one class of service, with premier seating, and no beverage service.
Onboard and before the plane pushed back, a person in the premier seating started explaining a "mileage run" to the flight attendant. While she didn't care, the premier mileage runner was excitedly telling her how he would achieve 50,000 mile status. Another person spoke up and said he was running for 100,000 mile status. Another person and myself said we were both doing mileage runs. All people in premier seating did the round trip flight.
Flight attendants don't care about mileage runs. In general, it is better to say nothing to the crew about a mileage run, rather than potentially stir up problems. There is always someone bigger (the 100,000 miler) faster and better.
