Need 4,300 Delta MQM Miles
I'm looking for a mileage run on Delta to get to Gold status before the end of the year (short 4,300 miles). Origin is MCO. Need to travel on 26/27 Dec if at all possible. Or, should I just carry-over the "excess" 20,700 miles of the current balance of 44,700?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Million Miler vs. Frequent Flier Miles
Provided it gets me to gold, I'm OK not getting credit toward Million Miler. I've got just over 700k toward Million Miler status and expect to be there in 3 or 4 years. (I got the 47k this year in only 3-1/2 months having been out of work until September).

Yeah, I can't find anything under $700 (MCO-SEA-MCO). Pretty much everything else is north of a grand.
I'm leaning toward carrying the "excess" 20,700 miles over into 2010. Based on the amount of flying I'm doing in my new job, that will probably put me over the top for Platinum next year.
