Where are you based? Any irrops during the 24 days run?
Bases out of ORD, I was expected to move to LA temporarily for March and April, and took advantage of a transitionary remote work period between late Jan and mid Feb. Did a few more when I was in LA, and got a few out of PHX in Sept and Oct, and a couple out of ORD late Oct.
I usually use those $20 repositioning flights on Frontier to get to LAX or SFO. As for IRROPS, I was somewhat protected because EWR-SJU and LAX-HNL were turnarounds, so I was always guaranteed a flight back. There was sufficient layover to get the next LAX-EWR or EWR-LAX. Only once did I have to sleep in SJU, but I took advantage of unlimited rebooking to add some LT miles (SJU-EWR-BOS-LAX) or take ORC if that wasn't an option. My tightest connection was making it from C110 to A15 in EWR in 13 mins.
From 2025, I'll be fully based out of PHX, and so far I've only found runs to BOS that hit my sub-4cpm threshold for BIS mileage runs.
