Stumbled across this one today:

Sample routing MSP-SEA-OAK outbound and OAK-SLC-CVG-MSP on the return.
Example date 12/9-12/12.

4667 MQMs

Lots of routing options available

Thanks! I was going to be 3 seg & ~3000MQM short of PM after the job decided an extra week as remote would be appreciated.

I picked up 6 segs & 5347MQM for $277 (5.2cpm) MSP-CVG-SLC-OAK-LAX-SLC-MSP. Relieved I have that wiggle room now. =)

12/8-9.

It can be done on a same day turn on 12/9 IIRC. And a weekday, as well.

I found similar routing from STL. Routing 2-stops as a same-day turn (including one red-eye).
STL - MSP - LAX - OAK - SLC - ATL - STL - $260.80; 5213 MQM - 5 CPM (12/9)

12/11 same day turn for $289. 5MQS, 4750MQM. Returns on a red eye.
6cpm, not awesome, but if you're close to keeping or getting next level status, might be worth it.

Seems for the most part, the best fares are gone. Lowest 0/1 day trip in December I can find is $285. My 12/8-9 itinerary is now $380.

Woohoo! Enjoying a pit-stop at the Embassy Stes Waterfront during my 1st official MR. Ended up with an IROP that got me an extra seg & 1000mi. Ended up at SFO instead of OAK (the first GM desk agent messed up, but then my 2nd call fixed my return to fly out of SFO & rebooked the 3 segs as Y fare, so odds of UG are better (SFO-LAX-SLC-MSP) - impossible as GM on Sundays.

I'm completely wiped out but tickled with the trip thus far. (And banked almost 11k RDM to boot). Nap, then back out tomorrow.

Thank you so much FTers! I couldn't have pulled this off without you! Looking forward to hitting PM and future, more "advanced" MRs!
