Lightbulb Most MQMs/$ from ATL, international

I have some unexpected time off over the next month, looking to maximize my MQMs per dollar to make plat status this year, can anyone recommend a destination from ATL with 15,000-20,000 round trip MQMs for the cheapest possible.

Thanks! Dennis

Coach or Business?
For around $1500, you can take a round-trip flight in premium select from Los Angeles to Shanghai which will give you a little over 19,000 MQMs. You would need to purchase a separate round-trip ticket from ATL to LAX.

what's the conflict? Maximizing MQM/$ is the same as minimzing $/MQM.

Strongly recommend OP posts requirements in the above MR thread, where the true wizards hang out.

Make your way to JFK and then hop on MU. I routinely find deals from JFK for under $500 that net over 20,000 MQM's.

Plus they will net a ton of MQDs if that matters.
