AA Platinum - 57K miles needed for Executive Platinum
Hello this is my first post! I fly out of DFW weekly typically to Mexico - Mexico City/Monterrey/Guadalajara most of the time. I also fly to other cities in mexico based on projects. Typically fly to San Diego in the US from time to time. I average about 2k miles a week.
I am interested in mileage runs out of DFW or nearby airports if necessary. I would like to book a mileage run as soon as possible I don’t care about the destinations just miles.
I would prefer to travel on the weekends if possible to avoid burning vacation but can travel weekdays if necessary.

Welcome to Flyertalk CIBPP ^
You should look at S.E Asia like CGK, and or SIN but you'll have to look at a regional airport or even position outside of Dallas to get a better fare.
Also look at the BIZ fares out there to earn miles faster. This one out of YYZ is good and has simple positioning. This one out of HKG would require nesting the ticket in another HKG or Asian RT but would help knock out a lot of miles.

Are you sure you'd get the value of our EXP? With reduction in SWUs and the change to prioritize upgrades based on recent spend, it may not make sense to do mileage runs to get it.
