Hey Guys,

I have a friend who is currently 3.5 segments from qualifying for 1K. She doesn't know much about airline status or really cares to know and was planning on ending the year 3.5 segments short of 1K!! I was telling her since she's so close to 1K it will be well worth it to just book a connecting flight or 2 to get those last few segments. I'm a Delta guy so I'm not too familiar with Uniteds routes. The lowest I've been able to piece together is ~500. If this was me, I would do it in a second(am I crazy?!) but she was hesitant about paying 500 for it.

I was hoping someone on here could help piece together an intinerary thats under 500(if it's possible) departing from either SFO/SJC and returning to ORD or a multi city that departs from ORD and returns to ORD the week between Christmas and New Years? Ideally, it would all be all in one day, but doesn't necessarily have to be.

Thanks in advance guys!!
