I don't want to be rude but I see, with regular frequency on these boards, new members that say "I'm new to mileage runs...please somebody give me an itinerary to get a lot of miles cheap and easy." Simply put, putting together a MR requires you to read the FAQ's several times and keep your eyes open for deals. It takes me several hours to put together a good MR and can't just randomly have one ready for you to do.
Welcome to this hobby and have fun!
Dole,
I understand what you are saying, but I have been guilty of a similar post because even after reading the FAQ, lurking on the boards and playing with the ITA software for hours on ends, I was not able to find the same 2 cents per EQM that others were. I have posted deals that I found, but was just soliciting some ideas for starters. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this within the confines of good board etiquette? Obviously I am not asking anyone to be my travel agent, I am just want some starter ideas of where to look.
Thanks,
Scott
