If you have any time for a quick one.....
1. Star Alliance- I'm trying for status with US
2. 4 segments or 11k EQM
3. Weekends only. Needs to be either 12/14-12/16 or 12/21-12/23.
Available to leave Fri after 6pm (7pm if BWI) with return by Sunday afternoon (in case of delays).
4. Willing to stay in a hotel, but prefer to knock it out in one day.
5. DCA (preferred), IAD, and BWI. Switching departing/arriving airports not problem.
6. I want to keep the trip under $300.
If you can route to any of these cities, I've got a place to stay for free:
DEN,MSP,DAY,CAE,CLT,TPA
MCO,PHX,SFO,SJC,OAK,ATL
Obviously, if I can't get to any of those it's fine! I kept trying different routes and couldn't find trip under $500 (still new at this).
Thank you!!!!

need about 7,000 miles for platinum requal on AA
I have just over 43,000 miles. I need to fly domestic from DCA, BWI, IAD, RIC. I need about 10 segments so that probably won't work, but open to either the miles or the segment requalification. Dates don't matter...weekday or weekend. Overnight is ok if necessary. Many thanks.

I'm a newbie, hoping that folks on this board will continue to be incredibly generous. Here are my details:
1. Which airline/alliance? --- DL MQM's/SkyTeam (international travel ok)
2. How many miles or segments? --- Need approx. 4300 mqms
3. Available dates? --- Any long weekends up to and including 12/28, except 12/21 and Christmas
4. Are you willing to stay in a hotel for a night or two? --- Yes
5. Which airport(s) can you depart from? --- Anywhere near ATL
6. Ballpark: how much are you willing to spend? --- as cheap as possible, but whatever it takes
Thanks in advance.

I don't know enough about AA to do a MR search, but I did manage to find BWI-DFW-SEA RT for $265 all in. This will get you 5754 miles and you can find something else to get you the remainder. Or perhaps somebody more familiar with AA can add some segments to this one to get you to 7000 miles.

For some reason this one is a pain.
I found ATL-LAX-MCO-ATL for $396 a/i on orbitz on 12/15. This would get you around 4664 MQMs. I'm not familiar enough with Skyteam to really research this, but at least it's something for you to consider.

You can still do CSG-ATL-LAS and back for $259 on 12/11 or 12/13, with a red-eye return; about 4494 MQM with 500 min. CSG-ATL.

Need 6500 EQP's to make Exec Plat on AA
This is a first time post for me as a colleague of mine referred me to this site after he heard my situation. I joined a new firm in May and racked up 90K eqp's in less than 7 months. Seems like it would be a huge waste not to make it to exec plat. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.
1. Which airline/alliance? --- American (international ok)
2. How many miles or segments? --- Need approx. 6500 eqp's
3. Available dates? --- 12/21-12/26 from DFW and 12/28-12/31 from NYC
4. Are you willing to stay in a hotel for a night or two? --- Would prefer not to. Would prefer redeyes over hotels
5. Which airport(s) can you depart from? --- see above
6. Ballpark: how much are you willing to spend? --- as cheap as possible, but like to keep it under $800.
Thanks in advance.

1) check out this thread (deal expires tonight!):
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=762424
2) Assuming you really mean EQP and NOT EQM, then you have to look for the right fare classes to be sure you get at least 1pt/mi.
3) If #2 is true, then a first pass look at ITA yields:
JFK-STN-JFK
12/29-30 to 12/30 (overnight outgoing, 2h15m layover, same day turn)
AA124 to AA125
Fare class V
$817.40
6920 EQM and 6920 EQP
To book you'll probably have to put a cheaper S fare on HOLD on AA.com, then call AA web services and ask them to change it to the VKW7EGB fare that's shown on ITA, then complete your purchase.
There are almost certainly cheaper ways to do this (especially if you really mean EQM), but this is a start at least.
Good luck!
