Looks like a Sat. night stay is required. I think this beats those pesky Asia runs which requires that 6-7 day min. I'm sure you could squeeze some extra segments in there so that you can reach 25,000 Q-miles so you can cross the first elite level...and just think its only January!!!
Umm, I'll take Asia, especially, BKK, SIN, or HKG, this time of the year (90 degrees vs. 20 degrees). Just booked UA IAD/BKK 1/21 for $805 that's upgradeable. It yields about 20,000 miles.
