Help with first mileage run
I am looking to book my first mileage run. Earlier today I saw some great routines on ITA, but now I am only able to find direct routings. Can anyone help me enhance the following?
Goals:
1) get to Canada to complete my Nexus interview.
2) get miles to help requalify for DL Diamond.
3) No long flights that are unlikely to get upgraded. (DL DM + reserve)
4) Have some fun ( fun = craft beer, beach, or anywhere in the Caribbean/South America)
5) CVG based, but open to DAY, IND, etc...
Currently I am able to book the following:
10/18 cvg-atl-sea
10/19 sea-atl-sju
10/21 sju-atl-sea
10/22 - Nexus interview in Blaine, WA
10/22 sea-atl-cvg
As two separate round trips:
Cvg-atl-sea-atl-cvg = $319.70 / 5360mi = 5.9CPM
Sea-atl-sju-atl-sea = $360.90 / 7460mi = 4.8CPM
Not great value, but pretty good from CVG and given my goals. Earlier today I was able to price out some great routings (cvg-atl-lax-sea) and (sea-sts-lax-jfk-sju). Unfortunately, I can't make them happen now..
So, can the pros here help me make this MR better? The only hard requirements are:.
1) .CVG (or close) departure.
2) far enough out to schedule a nexus interview.
3) Delta
Thanks for your help!
