AA EXEC PLAT 30K short to re-qualify
Job change has slowed me down considerably this year since most routes flown have been domestic. 60K right now and I estimate I will be at 75K max by year end at this pace. Any suggestions for a run, good fare, premium deal, whatever.. all appreciated. I have researched the other threads and considering the PTY deal but not sure that one will fit. I do not have any AA-affiliated affinity credit cards so that isn’t an option.
I can fly domestic or international and prefer $1,200 or less in expenditure:
September 4-8
September 18-28
November 5-8
November 23-28
Last two weeks of December
Prefer to fly from DFW, MCI, LAX, PHL, WAS, JFK, ORD but can also do CLT and MIA if needed. If I need to get to other feeder airports to start/finish I am open to that as well.
Thanks all in advance. Happy to provide more info if needed.
Reached well over 140K flown/paid last year. But with the program changes this year my sense is they won’t have any sympathy for falling short this year.

1. Make sure to use the EXACT FIGURES. Not your best guess, but an exact calculation of the EQM's for booked/planned trips. Keep them in an up to date spreadsheet to be on top of it.

OK, holding the following for 17.6K EQMs at $972. Used Google Flights and then the link provided to book with AA. I'll play around with it more tomorrow and see if I can find earlier dates, lower fare, better metal MIA-LAX, etc.:
17 Dec - LAX - SFO 745p - 737
17 Dec - SFO - JFK 11pm - A321T
18 Dec - JFK - MIA 130p - 757 Angle recline
18 Dec - MIA -PTY 642p - 737
19 Dec - PTY - MIA 418p - 737
19 Dec - MIA - LAX 932p - 737
Thanks again for the point in the right direction! I'll report in on the progress and experience in hopes it helps others.
