Any help or advice on a potential Mileage Run in the US!?
Hi all,
I'm still fairly new to this so my apologies if I'm asking silly questions.
I'm BAEC Silver and my next collection year starts on 9 May 2017.
I'll be in the U.S. in June for a conference. Annoyingly, my boss was in a bad mood when the flight had to be booked and instead of allowing me to book WTP+ or J and claim the Y fare on expenses (like I had done many times before), she insisted on booking the ticket using her CC and said "you can always upgrade later". As much as I tried to explain the problems (and much higher cost) associated with that, she wasn't having any of it so I'll be flying in Y from LHR to IAD on BA0293 on 7 June 2017 and from IAD to LHR on BA0292 on 14 June 2017. (rant over)
While I'll try for an AUP, I thought I'll see if I can at least go on a mileage run while in the U.S.
As I mentioned earlier, I'll be arriving on BA0293 on 7 June 2017.
I have a hotel in D.C. from 10 June 2017 and no plans between my arrival and 10 June 2017. It also wouldn't be a problem if I didn't arrive back in D.C. until 11 June 2017.
To sum this up:
Departure Airport: WAS
Miles Needed: as many as I can get (focus being Tier Points)
Required Spend or Budget: $500-1000 - depending on what I can get out of it
Available Travel Dates: 7 June 2017 - 10 or 11 June 2017
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: yes, Oneworld
Thanks for all your help!
Philip
