Required Metal or Codeshares okay*: yes (as long as I can earn enough MQMs)
Currently Silver Medallion.
Some background:
- Weekend trips I would do a quick weekend trip from NYC anywhere and maximize on MQM earnings
- I am definitely traveling to Ireland on or around Dec 20th. I would like to find a way to fly back after New Year's eve, but this would mean I need to earn 9,400 MQMs by Dec 31 (so, weekend trip and outbound flight to Ireland).
- Alternately, if there's a <$1,300 option to only do NYC - Ireland (DUB, SNN or ORK) trip, leaving on or around Dec 20 and return between Dec 28-31, and earn 9,400 MQMs on that one trip, I would do this as well
Thank you!
NYC to DUB return is about 6300 MQMS so you need a weekend flight that gets you 3100 MQMs correct?
Dec 14th weekend - NYC-LAS, $253 (BE), 4400 MQMs,
Dec 14 - 15, NYC - LAX-SMF-SEA-NYC, $341 (BE), 5800 MQMs, requires overnight in SMF
