Budget: lowest cost possible for the MQD
Available Travel Dates: Nov. 20-Dec. 5; Dec. 12-17; Dec. 27-31
Required Metal or Codeshares okay*: DL or DL codeshares to maximize MQD
I'm assuming I'll have no trouble meeting the MQM requirement if I can find something that also fulfills the MQD. Totally okay with international flights and quick turnarounds. I'd ideally like to reach the MQD and MQM all in one go. Okay with flying a premium cabin, as long as I'm minimizing the cost to get the MQD in one trip. Thanks in advance!
How about Virgin Atlantic, Economy Delight, JFK-JNB, will take two trips to earn the needed MQDs
e.g. Nov. 20 - 22, JFK-LHR-JNB-LHR-JFK, $1172 (Economy Delight, V Fare Class), $4500 MQDs, 22,600 MQMs, 10 hours in JNB, on Virgin Atlantic website flexible date search for departure on Nov. 20, return on Nov. 21, various dates available
