Let the Mileage Run Games Begin! (2024)

Please post any "deals" you see from Seattle -- preferably to East Coast or Hawaii. I'm hoping to hit my 2M goal in 2025. Thinking that AS will offer some Hawaii promotions with the acquisition. Thank you!

I think the whole point of the acquisition is to make flying to Hawaii more expensive...

Long term... but there will probably be some promotions early on.

You can just skip this thread, then. Seattle cyber sale kind of sucked this year so just looking for a bit of help from those so inclined. Some of these threads can go 10+ pages... There are quite a few of us doing mileage runs from this area so I thought posting for a specific city would be easier to find. Merry Christmas to you!

It was just a suggestion (that the mods seemingly have taken) to reduce the clutter in the forums; otherwise we’ll get countless threads for the same thing clogging up the first page.

It’s quite easy to set up a Google flights alert for flights to and from a specific city: https://www.google.com/travel/explor...DfZEA&hl=en-US

A very happy holidays to you too

Maui is still incredibly cheap, including in F. Just will require spending a couple hours on the island. No quick turns like RDU.

2024 Mileage Runs. Let the games begin.

Happy New Year!

Once again, I find that estimating the total of my anticipated flights as will as other EQM earnings for 2024 will put me within a short (10K miles) reach of the next level. So, I'll be keeping an eye open for any sales/deals for travel in the Spring and later.

My first flight is on the 5th. I must be slacking already.

With the rollover above 100K, will probably get to 100K again by October without miealge runs. However, spouse will need to actually start having BIS and therefore may look into some west coast runs.
