PM sent with a $158 r/t for 12/15. Not the best in the world, but for needing so few miles, not a terrible option.

Great first post, btw, PIC.

Smile

Info:
1. Which airline/alliance?

Delta Skymiles, need MQMs.

2. How many miles or segments?

6168 for silver

3. Available dates?

Dec. 11, 12, returning on 13th or December 18, 19, returning on the 20th.

4. Are you willing to stay in a hotel for a night or two?

If need be.

5. Which airport(s) can you depart from?

I live in between DAY and CVG, so either one of them.

6. Ballpark: how much are you willing to spend?

I'd like to keep it around $300-$350 if at all possible.

I've been trying to find a good run to do to RSW/SRQ area departing on the 18th and returning the 20th. Some family is getting together with my Grandfather near RSW prior to Christmas and I'd like to join them.

The week before I could do a run any where, preferably MLB/MCO but I'll take anything.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for being such a great FT community member.
Here are my needs in order to reach UA Premier 1K.

1. UA or US
2. Need about 4000 EQM's.
3. I can travel 12/7-12/9 or 12/14-12/16
4. I'm ok with hotel. I prefer to stop overnight instead of cram into 1 very long day.
5. Fly from ORD or MDW
6. $300 - $400

I am thinking a single trip to west coast (~4000 mi rt) or two smaller trips.

I have friends to crash with in Bay Area (SFO, SJC, OAK) in Santa Barabara (SBA, LAX), Baltimore (BWI, DCA, IAD), Philly (PHL, EWR), and a few others. But, I'm open to any itinerary.

Depending on my boredom level, I might take a few tomorrow, but my eyes are tired of looking at ITA screens for now..........

COS need 7500 UA EQM

If you decide to take on any more charity cases, I need to go to NYC on Dec 12 for a seminar 13-14th, then can leave NYC Dec 14 in the evening or 15th anytime. I found a basic fare of $240 which will get me 4800 miles by routing through Boston and then Denver both ways (only allowed on the way back). I have spent the past two days trying to work out my 7500 miles by adding another flight on that trip. I was intrigued by the UA flight LAX -LGA because of the premium features so fiddled around with that, but it kept offering me the red-eye overnight LAX-LGA and I don't want to arrive looking like i'd slept in my clothes! I finally figured I'd just ahve to do another MR, say COS-ONT for $158 to get the last miles. But I would prefer doing something while I'm out anyway rather than having to take a second run.
1. No. of miles/segments that you have at present. 42,500 EQM
2. How many more miles/segments will it take to reach your goal. 7500 EQM
3. Where are you are based. COS
4. Whether or not there is some place specific that you would really like to go. Need to be in NYC Dec 13-14.
5. Dates you are available to travel are must a must - in both directions, please! Dec 10-17.
Hotel? Fine if it's in not too pricey an area.

6. Also, it would help if you mentioned the budget, please! $400 or so

Thanks so much if you decide to take this on. You are a travel wonder!

Very Generous - Thanks

I will need 3858 MQMs to qualify for DL Platinum. Flying D-class vs. K next week to get me down to 3858.

I fly out of ATL. THe only reasonable day I can do this is departing on the 27(prefereable evening) returning ideally 28th, or 29th if need be. Looking for the cheapest option to get the miles I need. Don't care about crazy multiple hops, or an overnight somewhere. That's fine Would really like to spend less than $300 if possible.

Thanks again.

I need 6,000 EQM's or 6 EQS for 1P. I am ORD based, looking for something within reason and typically any day will work, but weekend preferred. Any thoughts from the masters here?

Thanks

Originating SLC - need about 6000 miles

I currently have 38000 on Delta, flying to SLC->MIA today RT, then SLC->LAS in a week, then I get the 40K bonus of 2500 miles that delta has right now. Trying to get to 50K so based on all of that it should be just under 6000 still needed. What can I do, originating from SLC between now and the end of the year to hit the 50k mark with delta. I would like to do it on one flight and minimizing the $/mi is not the #1 priority. I would like to do it in one day if possible or at worst an overnight red-eye type deal on the return.

It is worth $200-$350 to me to get to this tier.

Any help appreciated finding me the best option.

7000 Miles UA

Thanks for the generous offer, GSP Flyer!

This turned out to be a slow travel year due to unforeseen events, and it turns out I need 7k miles on UA to requal. I'm located in PHX and would take anything cheap. If PDX, ORD, or NYC are included in the trip, all the better! I'm OK with a hotel, if necessary.

Anytime in Dec would be OK, but I need to be in PHX Dec 10-11. Other than that any day of the week is fine.

I'll be anxious to see what you're able to come up with. My ITA-fu is weak, and haven't turned up anything decent on my own.

UA 1K bid. need 5600 EQM

Need 5600 EQM for 1K status.
Cannot do international flights due to visa restrictions (especially to Europe). Open all weekends in December.
Willing to spend around $400 - $500.
Located near chicago. So ORD,MDW and RFD are workable options for me.

Thanks a lot for your help
