Departure Airport: IAH but willing to depart from elsewhere in North America or do two mileage runs by nesting a return trip beginning outside NA
Miles (PQF/PQP/BIS, choose one) Needed: PQP (5,000 - 6,000 or so)
Maximum Budget: hoping for around $2,200 - $3,000
Available Travel Dates: open
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: probably will have to be mostly partner metal to get the amount of PQP needed
Route(s) You've Already Searched: TUN-IAH in LH/AC J, or MAD/BCN in AC PY is the best I’ve come up with so far, but have searched more or less the whole world back to IAH

Because this is a fun way to spend a weekend for us, bonus if the destination is interesting (even if only for a 24 hour mileage run stopover). Double bonus if the MR isn’t in Y although we are willing to do it in Y if the math works.
