Okay, so I figure there's whole bunch of folks on here that know how to play the CAL system better than me...
Here's my situation;
After the Turkey day weekend I'll be 3EQP's short of plat.
I've just found out I'll need to make a quick overnight trip CLE to MEM sometime in the next couple of weeks after that.
I used to fly that route frequently 5-6 years ago but it looks like Continental doesn't fly direct anymore. A quick check on their website routes me through EWR or IAH at around $1,500. Although that would take care of the EQM's for the year, I think the customer would have a cow.

Any suggestions for alternate routing? I know Northwest flys direct DTW to MEM but it doesn't come up on a CAL search...
