I don't know how well that works out compared to trips out of RDU with their 2xEQM and 3xRDM. You could do RDU-JFK-SFO, do the SFO-MGA RT, and then back SFO-JFK-RDU. I think it'd take a total of 4 days but I could be off on that.

Thanks for the advice. I looked at that and there is no way I can make it through in Aug. Pricing went up for that route from what I could find after Labour day too.

BTW - I am based out of MSP. So, I will be getting a positioning flight as well which will add some mileage too.
