Would you have 24 AS segments after that single trip?
My goto for reasonably cheap large buckets of EQM historically was Condor in J. But always trips I wanted to do anyway, and their fares have been more expensive the last few times I checked, plus this is the holiday season. And I and others have had trouble getting Condor flights to get credited in a timely fashion this year.
Personally, I would not spend a lot of money and time to fly 25k EQMs to get to 100k.
Finally, there was talk at the Flyer event about some sort of Q1 offer to earn back status. Might be cheaper/easier.
