I could purchase miles but I was thinking it might make sense to do a January MR aimed at RDM rather than EQM (and get a start on requalifying for EXP next year). I’m thinking my best return would involve some sort of bonus miles promotion. So with this in mind, any ideas for an MR? Best would involve minimizing travel and stay time as I’ll be doing this alone. I’ll be EXP by then, so ability to upgrade with EVIPs would be a plus. SAN is my home airport but I could fly out of LAX.
