Available Travel Dates: 12/26 to 12/21 or possibly dates up to 12/23. (Do need to be in LUX on 12/29 so something near or routing through FRA, LUX or CDG probably good)

Also, considering additional January MQD run to use up GUC.
Required Metal or Codeshares okay* (need codeshares please)

Thanks In advance for any help.

**also, new poster so I did a reply (hopefully not starting a new thread)
Is it worth it for 2023 status to spend at least 3-4000 USD Cash for Delta status?
I would consider if not best to aim for status next year? How many MQMs do you have? At this point in the year and for that amount of MQDs you need 3-4 TIJ-HMO/CJS runs plus a positioning flight to TIJ/SAN so looking at 600 a pop times 4 runs , or basically 5 days travelling around Mexico...
Or two USA-CPT/JNB Virgin runs and those are also pricey... would it make more sense to go for Diamond early in the year?
