7,200 miles short of re-qualifying *A - help? :)
Hey guys, so I'm 7,200 miles short of requalifying for Plat elite on Continental, and have enough vacation time left to do a nice mileage run/vacation. I'm based out of NYC, and can do pretty much any *A metal to fill in the difference.
Any suggestions on the best mileage run to make this?
Thanks in advance! ^

CO has some decent fares to HNL or Europe.
I am flying EWR-HNL with $583.60 A/I in a couple of weeks to get 9,900 miles.
I know it's not that cheap, but it could be a good vacation

EWR-YYC on AC or UA is just $350 ai RT for the last week of October. If you route through SFO both ways, that's over 7,500 mi.
Plus, you get to visit lovely Calgary/Banff and see the mountains on the cheap. It's a nice vacation.
P.S. I'm using the fare in reverse to go see NYC on the cheap and qualify for 1K at the same time!
