Here's my info:

1. No. of miles/segments that you have at present: AA 98,600 EQP
2. Need 1400 EQP to qualify for EXP
3. I am based in NYC, but can only do a run on a weekend or while I am in FLL 11/29 to 12/6. Was thinking maybe FLL to DFW or FLL to ORD, but flights are all in deep ecomny class and yield 0.5 EQP per mile :-(
4. Nowhere specific I want to go, just somewhere I can get off the plane and come right back
5. Dates: Sun 11/30 to Fri 12/6 from FLL. Or any weekend day between then and the year end.
6. Budget- I am cheap and looking for the lowest cost per EQP

Even pointing to me a website where I can maybe search fares by booking class would help :-) Thanks in Advance
Hi Stacey !

I would go for a 4 segment trip to the closest Eagle destinations. I dont know about the possibilities but BOS, DCA & ORD come to my mind.

500 Miles minimums are your friend here
