Seeking advice: UA milage run from DTW

I am seeking a milage run on UA from DTW to get 609 miles before the end of the year. I am willing to fly from another airport like Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids, and maybe Cleveland. Thanks for your help.

I'm seeing as low as $150 CLE - Baltimore for a roundtrip, but with two nights of a layover.

You may be able to do your mileage run on US for less (just use your UA FF# when booking. All US mainline flights and most US Express/Shuttle flights give EQM on UA)

Detroit has rarely been kinda to United flyers and the big 4 michigan airports are all lacking attractive long distance mileage running options.

If you're looking for an excuse to get away, US has DTW-PHL/CLT/PHX-LAS for 240RT. Probably is going to be the closest to a true mileage run fare right now. I realize you only need a few miles but I wanted to offer you an option for only a little more than what others were offering to have a bit of fun.

Buy a one way refundable ticket that is over, but as close to 609 miles as possible, use the option to purchase elite miles then cancel the ticket,
