I am planning year 2005 EQM travels at this point. A total of 4 trips to China are in order and the objective is to achieve Plat status. The first trip, unfortunately, has already been set (BOS-DTW-NRT-PVG) which would only yield 15,800 EQMs.
Possible consideration for the remaining 3 trips: BOS-MSP-LAX-NRT-PVG (18,400 EQMs).
BOS-MSP-HNL-NRT-PVG (20,100 EQMs) would be very exhausting, especially on the return layover in HNL.
Do you have any "creative" routings that you could care to recommend?
