I would love to do this in August. What dates work? I don't care about the routing, so long as I start in EWR, PHL, LGA or FLL. I'm having trouble finding anything.

Again, N fares would earn PQMs and award miles as well for MP. Nonetheless, for a little higher fares such as G, I get 100% of the miles (status and award) toward TK, which is not common from other *A carriers that will try to nickel-and-dime their own members, let alone partner members.
UA is always the savior of helping me reach and maintain Elite/+ status on TK when I need a few thousand miles to get there.
