UA 5,000 Miles Needed: LAX
Looking to hit Platinum this year and need 5,000 miles before the end of the year. Can fly Dec 17 - 20 or Dec 27 - 31. Been looking but haven't seen any deals worth purchasing.
Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated!!! |
US still has some seats from SAN on the 17th to EWR/JFK in the $475 range if you can get down there. A few things out of ONT left, but it's so far east, it doesn't come up to 5K.
Anything else, start thinking in the $700+ range. |
whats the best you have found? it might be the winner!

If you don't want drive to SAN:
Dec 17 on US LAX-CLT-LGA-PHL-LAX $426 for 5166mi |
A little work involved driving to/from SAN and quality time on a Logan gate chair pre-return, but the price is right. Hope you find one that works.
Dec 17 UA 554 SAN 1:32PM IAD 9:15PM 4h 43m Airbus A320 Economy (K) Layover in IAD 0h 50m UA 1246 IAD 10:05PM BOS 11:38PM 1h 33m Boeing 737 Economy (K) Dec 18 UA 842 BOS 5:34AM IAD 7:21AM 1h 47m Airbus A320 Economy (T) Layover in IAD 1h 8m UA 229 IAD 8:29AM SAN 11:01AM 5h 32m Boeing 757 Economy (T) $417.00 |
Wow, lots of stuff opening up tonight out of LAX. US, UA, AA and DL all are putting out sub-$500 fares to NYC again. I'm seeing things from the 12th - 17th.

Thank you everyone. This is what makes Flyertalk a great community.
It's hard for me to justify spending $400+ to hit Platinum on UA and even the mid $300s isn't helping either. On that note, if anyone is looking: LAX - CLT - SBY - PHL - LAX is $332.10 a/i leaving Thursday ($.06/mile..not great). I can't do a ML this week otherwise I'd consider taking it. |

Watch the miles on that one. There is no 500mi min on US segments (for UA elites). CLT-SBY-PHL together is only 400mi +
