DL/AA/UA: ORD-DUB $558/$592/$627 - Great for AA free Status Challenge
For those of you who got in on the AA free status challenge this is a nice option. Unlike the rest of AA Status Challenges, this one does not have the EQP restriction.
All November some quick turns available.
DL - $558, ORD-ATL-DUB 9,072 Miles (6.1 CPM), not great for CPM rate but nice price to get to Dublin or branch into Europe. Also great to pad your MQM balance before the end of the year.
AA - $592, ORD-LHR/MAN-DUB 8,438 (7.0 CPM). Marginally higher price, but if you got in on the free AA status challenge (like I did), two trips on this lock in Plat until Feb 2015. You are spitting distance after two (1100 miles) from Executive Plat and 8 system wide upgrades - this is a steal.

Sorry, I need to change that. It also says I am BD Gold but that's been LONG GONE! I also found $573 on AA routing through DUS which is eligible for double RDM!

One final correction, I just checked and the DUS bonus offer just expired a couple of weeks ago, so that part is out too. Still available for $573 and 8762 miles.

I am looking for flights like these where one or two trips can get me plat or maybe three can get me Exec plat. I was looking at east coast HNL but it is roughly 1000 dollars per round trip so the value really isn't there.
if it could be done for say 1800 to 2000 then I would really consider that
I can reposition as well but are there other hub to distant land fares that might get one EXEC PLAt for less than 2k

ORD - PEK is fairly cheap now if you don't mind making a trip out of it.

Everyone calm down.
The AA link was up, and then disappeared within a day or two.
No one knows if it was valid or not. I wouldn't do a MR on the hopes it is a valid MR. Someone in the AA forum may figure it out soon.
