I currently have 27,135 status miles for this year and would really like to make Elite.

On November 15th I have a trip to San Diego that I have to make flight arrangements for. I can leave from either YGK or SYR.

Based on current travel patterns I will probably be making other trips but
it seems it would make sense to try and maximise my mileage accumulation for this trip so that if I need a mileage run towards the end of the year it will only be a small one.

Obviously my trip needs to be on *A carriers. I wondered if anyone has any suggestions for routing to max on miles?

Thanks,

Glenn
