lalala,
one thing I did recently to get some quick extra miles needed for AA EXP (via AS on an extremely limited time schedule) was to book a few weekend internet AS sale fares & go out & back on the same Saturday...such as a SEA-PHX-SEA (2212 base or Qmiles R/T). I don't think those Saturday webfare departures require a stayover....just a thought! If just segments are needed, just think how many "cheap" SEA-PDX flights you could do in a day!
