CO/NW Mileage run needed out of SFO/OAK

Here are my requirements:

* A minimum of 4,600 status miles.
* Minimum stay: 1 day.
* between 1/3 (earliest dep. date) and 1/8 (latest return date)
* $220 or less.

Is there anything out there (like SFO-CVG on UA)? Thanks everyone for your help.

I tried Travelocity's dream map already but couldn't find anything.

SJC-CMH via NW and/or CO on the weekend seems to meet the requirement and be readily available.

SFO-FLL via EWR, a valid CO routing!

SFO-EWR = 2,565 miles
EWR-FLL = 1,092 miles
FLL-EWR = 1,092 miles
EWR-SFO = 2,565 miles
Total Status miles = 7,314

MRLIMO where are you finding a fare even close to $220 on that route between 1/3 and 1/8? All date combinations I checked were $500+ and up.

Freebird I would recommend that you check http://www.airoutlet.com It's Northwest's own condolidator. I have emailed them in the past asking if tickets purchased through them qualify for NW FF miles and I was told that they do.

I just checked there and there are lots of options that meet your miles/date requirements at fares under $200 to both CMH and CVG.

Under digitalcity.com, look up CMH(Columbus). They are showing a whole bunch of $148 fares for SAC, SFO, SJO, RNO. With taxes, I just got $162 fares from CMH to SFO so it should work the other way.

Sheryl, MRLIMO's routing required 14 days advance purchase...beyond the window. SJC-CMH worked though.

Thanks everyone for your help, especially Sheryl and FOOLISHRUNNER (is that a reference to mileage runs btw?). This board has come through for me again

And the winner is:

SFO - CMH for a total of $202

I leave Jan. 4th at 10:20pm and return next day at 5:45pm. Unless they need volunteers and I get bumped (please! Please!).

Total status miles (SFO - DTW - CMH): 5,158
(= 3.9 cents per mile).

Status miles and Gold Elite bonus = 10,316 total miles.

Freebird-

I'm doing a mileage run that same night to CMH, though on UA. I arrive in Columbus at 0856 on the 5th. Any chances our paths will cross?
