The return's only marginally better on that front, with overnighters at MIA and LAS.

This itinerary will certainly rack up a bunch of segments, but under AA's new EQD system, does that even help much?
4 nights in hotels makes the math less appealing. Definitely not for AA requal hence the reason it started in the BA forum. Too bad domestic AA First is in I.
