need MR out of BUF
 
I am short 9000 EQM's for *AC to make SE. Only trip in US to make into an MR and earn more miles is BUF-ORD. Nov13 or 14 return 16th. Cant get anything to work. Any suggestions?

BUF-ZRH can be had at about C$440 RT and nets 9314 miles

Check out the giant trick thread or PM me for more info.

Saturday night stay required. 14 days advance purchase

There are lots of European fares for under $500 on UA from BUF

Rankorabu beat me to it!

Wow, pretty good Europe fares!

A colleague needs around 20k hopefully all in one run, anyone seen any good deals out of YYZ/BUF for something of that distance? Was hoping to help him do it all in one trip if possible...

AC is best since these SSWUs need to get used up!

best I can find BUF-ZRH 705ai. I only have 2 weekends between now and Dec17th that I am not away or traveling. I can only fly oct 23 to 25, Nov 12 to 14 and Dec 3 to 5. limited chances for MR's but will be at 91,935 on Dec17 as schedule shows now.

I am in VCE at the moment
 
Haven't priced it but try, Buf->Bos->Zhr (or any european city). I have thought of doing, Roc-> Pit -> Anc (both these routes gain you double eqms)

oops: should have qualified above with, on USAirways.

UA gave BUF-IAD-ZRH-IAD-BUF but $705ai was also looking at LH as well.

That's a pretty good run... were you able to purchase it all on the same ticket or two separate tickets?

The BUF_SFO_BUF was one ticket on UA and the SFO_YYZ)LHR_DUB_LHR_YYZ_SFO was another Lat with SWU immediate upgrade.

So it wasn't the entire BUF-SFO-YYZ-LHR-DUB-LHR-YYZ-SFO-BUF for $1,100? From the other thread and from what I'm seeing on AC.com $1,100 only gets you SFO-YYZ-LHR-DUB-LHR-YYZ-SFO.. right? Or how much were you lat segments?
