Any suggestions on going for the platinum challenge?
Try finding reasonable discounted First Class (A) fares and you can meet the challenge in a couple of days. Check the "airports within 90 miles" box.

I'm running SAN-SJC-DFW-FLL-DFW-SJC-SAN this week for 8,924 EQP at only $866. Even less from ONT but I need the short backtracking AE flights to get me over the top.

That will get my PLT back for better seat selection and periodic UGs on my marathon LAX/SFO-BOS EXP runs the next three weeks.
