Here is the best itinerary I could work out. After this trip it'll gain me silver status. I'm not sure if I worked the MQM calculator I used correctly but I ma getting the following results:

Fare total= $3,300
Cost to upgrade RT to first on all legs except SEA-LAX as there is no FC on this leg= 50k skymiles
Miles=25,669
After fare bonus: 42,779
Fare class B- +150% cost per mile after bonus: .07/mile
total MQM= 42,779
Cost per mile: approx: .19cents/mile not including bonus.
Total travel time approx 28hrs.

Does anyone have a better itinerary, or ideas on how to get a better $$/Mile ratio?
