Having said that, I echo colpuck. $1700 is not worth *G with the amount of flying you do. A better spend could be netted with EWR-SEA transcons, LGA-IAH-SMF/SJC flights, but done over and over again. EWR-SEA is $221 and ~4600 miles. LGA-SJC can drop to below $250, and ~6000 miles.

But I'd ask for this post to be moved to Mileage Run and ask others for a better MR advice.
Hey man! Thanks for the advice. Not trying to hate on EUAs. Just looking for some advice. My issue is that I do not have three weekends to get the 15K EQMs. I really have only one shot. I would need to do that run 3 times (presumably with a Sat. stay to get that fare) to get to 15K EQMs. But you make an excellent point. Thanks again!
