Thanks so much! I am based out of MCI. Based on current planned travel during the promotion, I will be 4,298 miles short of gold. so I figure with the double miles I need a trip of 2,194 before Dec. 15 out of MCI.
I haven't booked anything yet. So any thoughts/suggestions I can get I'd really, really appreciate.
If I were 2,000 miles short, it would be sooo much easier! MKE and SAT would be perfect.
And WN flies STL-MCI. AA hasn't in some time unfortunately.
