Maximizing miles on ORD<=>YYZ business trips
Greetings all,

I am looking for routing that would maximize the miles earned. So far I only find ORD-LGA-YYZ-ORD or ORD-PHL-YYZ-ORD without exceeding $600 spending ceiling.

I don't really collect Skymiles, so hops through DTW are of no interest.

Any unorthodox ideas are welcome:0

Cheers
@ORD

Clacko - thanks!

I am not picky - UA, AA or US all will do. The best I can get is under 2000 miles return if I go through Philly or NYC.

Would be great if I can make a stop in DFW or DEN
