Help with MR on AA
I purchased a MR on AA long ago. One of the nyc-pdx fares.
A couple schedule changes later and I am not being forced to less miles or an over night.
I currently have to leave PDX in time to get to the redeye to MIA from LAX in the evening. At 655pm.
Can anyone come up with a creative routing to get most mileage for the outbound legs? NYC-PDX. Sept 9. So the NYC-MIA-LAX-PDX or even using SFO instead of LAX doesnt seem to work out.
Having a very hard time getting more miles now. I have PDX-LAX-MIA-LGA on the way home. Looking for over 7800 miles total (eqm)

maybe the milage run forum would be a better place to post this request for help.

I'd go for 7,801 miles or more somewhere. NYC-LHR-BKK (BA) -LAX (CX) -PDX would do or NYC-EZE-DFW-SEA-PDX is another. Really this is a matter of dough, preference, and time isn't it?

The guy needs 7,800 miles so these two 90 mile trips will leave him only 7,620 miles to go.

Thanks.
Didnt know about 777 on that route from LAX-MIA. I have it on both my trips.
the 1030ish on 9/9 and the 1130ish on 9/23. So even if it's only one we should be happy.
Still havent come up with anything good so thinking of going simply JFK-LAX-PDX on way out. Gives 7500+ and allows 5.5 hours in PDX. I'm just concerned that giving up 1000 eqm from the 8500 I had is now going to bite me when they change the schedule of the 9/23 one. I make stickers by 200 with this choice of routing for the year. and PLAT by 600. So its getting tight.
