AA Plat Challenge 10K EQP $685 AI

LAX
BOS 2608
MIA 1261
AUA 1137 = 5002 EQP

AUA
MIA 1137
BOS 1261
LAX 2608 = 5002 EQP, total = 10004 EQP

All flights in V
$268 outbound (booked prev day) +$311 return+tax = $685, aa.com

Miami flights seem to show in V or H where other city pairs show the dreaded GNOQS (EQP = 50% of BIS miles).

GNOQS are the booking classes that only give you 0.5 EQP - the fare posted by OP is in V and gives 1.0 EQP

For example, the only non-insanely-priced fares available for LAX-JFK/BOS/EWR/IAD/NRT/CDG are in one of the 0.5 EQP classes. Only if you want to fly to or through MIA do the V fares surface.

MIA, Oct. 27: I booked two days ago and started flying the itinerary yesterday. (I have a 10 hr layover in AUA later this evening.)

Can also throw in the 1am redeye to DFW and make it LAX-DFW-BOS-MIA-AUA-MIA-BOS-DFW-LAX, sample dates 11/19-20 $670 ai booking in V outbound / L return, also 11/19-21 (2 nights in AUA) $658 ai booking in V both ways.

To book just build itin using multi-segment on aa.com then call web services to upfare.
