Mileage Run to Malaysia? Because I can't think of anything better.
I have finally booked a flight from ATL to KUL via ICN. I need to get a lot of miles before the end of the year and this I did for 1400.00 all in. That is less than 7 CPM with the routing.
I really need to fly a few more miles before the end of the year about 20k more. Any ideas of some good DL MR's?
I would really love some DL promos to come about.

I'd guess you're flying on KE. I recall some of their fares didn't earn full mileage on NW, but am unsure about DL. I'm sure you checked this before you bought though.

Try the MR Discussion section of FT, going to have a lot more luck over there. In answer to your question, they come and go with DL. Keep your eyes open out of JAX, often a good place to start.

Until recently there were some great fares for a weekend in HNL out of Denver. I saw $450/rt for coach. Not the greatest, but from here it tacks on a few thousand miles.

If the flights are DL coded (and, having looked at the routing myself, I know those flights are code shares on KE metal) it will be fine.

DL code share flights on KE metal through ICN seem to have the lowest cost/mile.
Try Bali.
I would also track eastern European destinations and IST. If you plan to spend a few days on the ground Prague, Budapest and Istanbul are great tousirt destinations.

I can't find Bali on DL website. I tried all of the airport codes that I could find and it did not come up.

Thanks, I tried that and got this canned response:
" DPS is an invalid city code or cannot be booked through this web site. Please check the spelling of DPS or use the appropriate city code. "

Delta does not fly to DPS either itself or as a codeshare, so it comes up as Invalid on the website...

Sorry,
I thought I saw it on the DL site (KE does fly there, but aparently the is no Delta code share).
Good luck with your mileage runs.
