My mileage run was solved! I have to go to TLV, so its AA to LHR and BA to TLV.

Congrats on getting enough to make EXP. If you need a shorter run, go to New Hampshire.

My cousin is a pilot for AA (flies the BOSTON-SEATTLE run). He just got certified on the 757 (after flying the 737 for years) and loves the performance of the 757. I said the passengers may have a different perspective. He laughed and said that the FAs refer to the 757 as the "Slave Ship" as well. Apparently, no one likes it other than the pilots.

At least, I am guessing that is what you meant. But bear in mind that I didn't notice that there was a Mileage Run section on this site, so I am very likely incorrect.

Didn't AA have a BOS-SEA flight a couple of years ago?

I believe there are 3 flights that AA lists as BOS-SEA "direct" flights. Two that go through ORD, 1 that goes through DFW. Or maybe the other way around. But yes, the nonstop was canned last year.

Seems to have been gone for about a year. Understandable. http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthrea...EA#post3627354

Yep, no worries. And agree with you that he will have to decide what's best for him. It is tough for anyone to offer advice if we are not flying out of the same airport, i.e., what may be an 8k trip for me may only be a 6.5k MR for him.
One tool I will strongly recommend to the OP if he doesn't know about it already is Flying Fish. Only been using it a few months now (since joining FT), but have found it immensely helpful in picking out routes. Download it to your laptop and you don't even have to worry about having an internet connection to use at the airport. ^
