Welcome to FT, KTDeltago,

A good place to start:

For mileage runs, a positioning flight to a different city may be required.

Google Flights and ITA Matrix software can be good tools for doing searches.

:)

When I'm bored I like to play here... You can hammer out 20K in no time.

Why? Test ATL NRT SIN NRT SIN

I assume the OP means 20,000 MQMs. If OP has SWUs, consider a B fare for 150% MQMs or look for deeply discounted BE tickets.

SYD is nice. At 150% earnings, much of Asia is included from ATL in addition to SIN. Two trips to deep South America such as EZE. South Africa and Dubai earn more miles if you connect through Europe.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

maybe he's on his phone and doesn't know how to make something all upper case?

For a MR, at least until the end of August, LAX-ANC non-stop is/was pretty cheap... I'm going this weekend MCO-LAX-ANC-LAX-ATL-MCO same day turn for 10k MQM. I don't know if it's still around.

Picked up MCO-LAX-ANC-MSP-LGA-MCO about 9000 miles for $350. Deal is still running, but you might have to position to MCO from ATL.

I was on my iPad. I do know how to make something all upper case. It showed as upper case in the reply box, then changed to lower case as soon as I posted. When I tried to edit it, the same thing happened. Hope it's a temporary glitch on my iPad.

Anyway, to add to the relevant part of my initial post, ATL NRT SIN NRT SIN (on computer now) is 20348 MQM in Y, in case the OP doesn't want to pay for J trips.

I'm doing the MCO-LAX-ANC this Saturday. :)

For a newbie --- how are you able to get that itinerary for that low of a price? I can't seem to make that happen.

Take the Delta Shuttle a bunch of times... 20 round trips will get the job done :D

Indeed -- assuming you are already a Medallion.
