I'm trying to achieve 1K on UA for the first time. This year is the closest I've ever been in 10+ years and with the rest of the trips I have left, I need about 18-20K. Sounds like a lot but I'm seeing other post with some pretty crazy MR's! Problem is that I'm having a hard time with all the tools I see in the forum.

I'm currently Gold with about 60,169. I have two other trips which yield about 15K when all is said and done. So that leaves me about 20K and maybe an excellerator to make up the rest if needed.


I'm 100% open after the 21st of December and wouldn't mind a day or two in Turkey, Middle East or Asia to maximize mileage. Flying and Returning to ORD or any nearby airport. Any idea or direction would be appreciated.

Dates: >After December 21st
