I have posted this in the premium fare thread too, so apologies if this is in the wrong place.
I just thought I would increase my chances of a response.

Hi Folks,
I need about 17000 premium miles on United. The miles need to be in either A,F,J,C,D,Y,B or Z class.
I have done some searching and it seems that the A or Z class would be my cheapest options. I am hoping to retain my status on United for next year, but need some help in finding a good deal and a lot of people on this forum seem to know what they are talking about.
Is there anyone out there that would like to lend some advice?
I don't really care where I go or where I fly from as long as it originates in the U.S. somewhere.
In case your curious-I fly every week for work and last summer they cut back on their travel budget which stopped the Y and B tickets on my itineraries. They used to buy those fare classes because we changed our schedules so much, but now they just pay change fees and plan a little better.
Thank You for any help on this one.
