Why not take flight to PIT and take advantage of the doube MQM from that location, you must register though.
If you make a long miles run from PIT either to Europe or ASIA you will only need 1 flight to become GM.
However, if the OP earns GM by MQMs, he/she won't have any rollover, whereas if GM is earned by segments, all MQMs over 25K will rollover. This could matter a lot if status next year will be earned by MQMs, so that it could still be worthwhile to do the segment run(s) from one of the four magic airports to get the double MQMs, ideally to just under 50K by the end of the year to maximize rollover.
If the OP has SC access, RDU would be a better city for DMQMs because their SC and airport in general are so nice. There are lots of ATL flights, although it's rumored to be a tough upgrade. I suspect ATL-PIT would be the easiest of the four for upgrades, assuming that DL doesn't use RJs without FC.
Is there any hope of using SDC or even creative original routings on the business travel to pick up a few more segments?
