Any thoughts about planning? I don't have a lot of free time, so SIN run may not be the choice this year. Any ideas about 2 days, domesitc? Where are the DREAMMAPS that people talk about? Is there a good way to find max miles, and short time?</font>
This is a tall order - 15,000 flight miles in 2 days domestically.
First of all, a tip -- you've posted the same query in two other places (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum124/HTML/003681.html and
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...L/003682.html) -- it's generally best to ask only in one place. That way others with similar questions see the answers in one place as well.
Now, on to some suggested tools. Read the
Mileage Run Primer.
For cheap airfares, check out:
Digital City's Daily Deals (this particular link for Washington DC)
Travelocity's Dream Maps (currently set to EWR departures)
SmarterLiving's Daily Deals
For calculating distances, use the
Great Circle Mapper.
For fare-class availability (when you need to find, say, T fares on each flight) you might search with
Ben Edelman's
Galileo interface.
Construct your online UA itineraries with
mahjongguy's
Frequent Flyer Assistant.
Since domestic itineraries can often get pumped up mileage via added segments in California, you might check out
cblaisd's primer on
intra-California mileage runs.
