MilesBuzz! - Mileage run - USAir this weekend

Hi,

Any suggestions re: mileage run to keep my
Silver Preferred status? I need a lot - 13,400 to be exact. Thanks!

No. It's a bit late, don't you think?

1 roundtrip to Europe plus 1 transcon should about do it. I have no idea whether you can find good enough fares to make it worthwhile or not. Charlotte is probably a tough town to initiate a long and cheap US Airways mileage run from...

The US Airways board will have lots of information. I don't know whether US Airways would comp your Silver through all of 2003, or if they offer a fast-track/challenge for early 2003. (They gave me Gold in 1998 for flying 10,000 miles in two months, part of a targeted promotion.) I also don't know if another airline would comp you a low-elite status based on your US Airways status. However, I'd explore all of these options before booking a mileage run. If you end up wanting to do the run, you probably need to be in the air tomorrow or Saturday morning at the latest.

Please continue to follow this thread in the "Mileage Run" board.
