Departure Airport: SFO
Miles Needed: 25,000
Required Spend or Budget: Budget $3,000 max (I am okay on UA PQD)
Available Travel Dates: December 8-15 or Christmas weekend
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: Any airline; just need *A PQM for UA status
Route(s) You've Already Searched: Many. (SFO->JNB, PER, AMM, DYU (via IST)...) I can find good R/T fares/routes, but to get needed PQM, I need to do multi-destination, which gets expensive. Seeking long, efficient routing ideas.
Notes: 2018 employer dropped United as a preferred airline; 2019 I will be back on United, so big MR need to save status. First time I have needed a mileage run. I'm ignorant. THANKS!
