Need 1800 miles on NW out of SEA
Anyone have any good ideas for routes to get the needed miles. Can use Alaska, Continental, or NorthWest. I guess other NW partners would work also.
Thanks
PS - usually can only fly Friday through Sun, but I do have more time off during the week of and after Christmas.

AS2084 SEA 9:56am CLM 10:31am
AS2061 CLM 10:51am SEA 11:29am
AS2132 SEA 12:55pm CLM 1:35 pm
AS2229 CLM 1:55pm SEA 2:30 pm
Each ticket is $77.50 with tax - this will net you 2000 miles for $155 and just over four hours of your time.

You've already gotten a good response.
However, in general, your best bet would be to post this question in the Mileage Run forum. Folks there are really attuned to answering this kind of question.
And following the old "if you teach a man to fish" addage, let me suggest...
For low fares..
Digital City's Seattle Airfare Deals
Travelocity's Dream Maps for Seattle
SmarterLiving's Seattle Air Deals
See also:
The Mileage Run Primer
The Great Circle Mapper for calculating distances
Ben Edelman's Galileo Interface for searching fare class availability
Biddingfortravel.com in case you need a hotel while overnighting during your Mileage Run

Mileage run is a much better home for this, I agree.

This kind of a rehash of old posts, but rather than search for the posts, I'll post the suggestion.
If you can find a cheap fare from Bellingham on Horizon to anywhere connecting, of course, thru SEA, you get your 2000 miles for the 4 segments. Flight numbers must be different
The web specials, to cities such as PSC, EUG, MED, North Bend, Pendleton connecting thru PDX give you the same result. The whole idea is to get four 500 minimum mile segments on AS/Horizon credited to your WorldPerks account. With luck, you can get the miles for less than $100, including lunch and parking with one out and back connection.
Otherwise find a Florida fare and do it for about $250 and two travel days on NW or CO.
Good luck.

No, Seriously, the string on my PC says I am in the Mileage Run Forum. Nako, do you think the others are accessing this message in a different way?
