I have three trips by the end of the year... BCN, NUE, YUL. So I assume I can easily requalify 1K by taking J on one of my trans-atlantic trip. 8K plus 50% bonus is 12K EQMs.

My question is AA EXP... how to make 25K EQMs from JFK-YUL and one trans-atlantic trip... or do I need to do a MR on AA?

Next year I have three trips to South America, so keeping EXP might be worthwhile.

Thanks.
Without finding a great routing & pricing from East Coast-West Coast-Europe, probably not going to make 25K EQMs from JFK-YUL and one trans-atlantic trip on AA. You're going to need to look at doing an MR, probably a transcon.

JFK-YUL-JFK: 1000
JFK-LAX-LHR-PRG (Just as an example): 17164

So, you're still about 7k short. Even doing JFK-LAX-SFO-LAX-JFK would only get 5950 miles.

So, probably two MRs for ya.
