If you really expect to be just a couple of segments short it's probably better to decide on a plan now instead of waiting until end of year. Fares are pretty reasonable between Labor Day and Thanksgiving so the time to do a segment or mileage run is now when it's cheap and planes and airports aren't packed full of inexperienced holiday travelers.
