I think I'm going to need between 5,000 and 10,000 miles to acheive 1k for next year so considering doing 1 or 2 mileage runs in the next 3 months. Flexible on the route, dates. Looking for a UA/CO or *A airline.
Thanks.
I just did one to ANC. IAD-LAX-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-DCA. Started on the 1230 flight out of Dulles on a Friday afternoon and was scheduled to be home at 430 the next day. ANC is a quick (30 min) turnaround, but you get enough time in SEA to go to the Anthony for some chowder for dinner, or wherever else you fancy. And at IAH, you can see about getting a VDB b/c there's a later flight that gets you to DCA at 8pm. Comes out to 9100+ miles, and I paid 451 a/i for it. Not a super cpm, but very convenient.
As a 1P, I was #7 of 26 for the IAD-LAX leg, and got upgraded on the SEA-ANC and IAH-DCA legs. The plane from SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH was the same...one of the new interior 737-900s. Exit row seating when I wasn't upgraded. Plus, since some of the legs are CO, you could "Elite Maximize" if you wanted to, for 7.5cpeqm. Again, not a great MR deal, but I basically bypassed 75k got 1k on one flight (plus $$)
