I understand this many days in a location might not qualify as a true MR, but I am looking to load up on miles early this year and enjoy a weekend away from the Northeast. At this point, I ask the more experienced and the MRgurus to make a few suggestions on locations to search or perhaps fares already found? Thanks in advance all and happy holidays!
1/28 EWR-DXB on UA via IAD - via Europe also available on CO/LH/LX codeshares
2 nights/ 3 full days in sunny Dubai
2/1 DXB-EWR
can be had as low us $640 - 14500 miles, at 4.4 cpm, not the best MR, but a nice quick holiday.
make sure to read the TRICK thread in the MR discussion forum
you can always do a few boring domestic runs, and spend the weekend crossing the country
