Basically looking for the easiest $/status value for requal efforts in first week of January. I know I won't get all the way, but not against a single big spend to max out EQDs and EQMs efficiently. If this is an obnoxious ask, please ignore
Sure.
DFW-HKG RT in F twice. It'll cost you around $22k and you'll earn 97,000 EQM.
Best case, you'll need to fly 33,400 miles (F fare on AA) to earn 100k EQM. If flying partners, that figure doubles. It's nearly impossible to fly 66k BIS miles in a week. That's a solid 18 hours of flying every day for 6 days straight.
