AA only, or Partners Okay: all ok
Anyone have any suggestions for long-haul trips that can earn a 2-3x EQD / $ spend that can be done before end of year? I'm looking for somewhere Americans can travel to without hitting covid travel restrictions / quarantine.
Since AA is rolling over miles earned in Q4 ... I thought it could be worth it to go for executive plat / bonus threshold. I just don't see that many good MR opportunities. Best I can see is Alaska first class double EQD but those aren't longhaul. Sao Paulo looks interesting but I know if there is way to book it as special fare. (I looked at AAvacations but no * next to fare class.
