Need 18K from IAD to retain UA 1K
First mileage run for me - I'll need at least two to accomplish the needed 18K, I believe.
Currently 1K with 82K EQM accrued to date or booked through year end. Open for travel from now through mid December - don't want to lose 1K since we've experienced how very valuable it is! Have been diligently studying all of the relevant forums and threads, and researching trip options. Best I've found is IAD-OTP (Bucharest), netting 9932 miles for $733. Know that's not that good of a CPM - any other suggestions?
Thanks much!

I've got 7 of these scheduled.
Also have a weekend MR to ANC. 80xx miles for 431, 5.3 CPM.
None of these are particularly FT-worthy, but they're easy to find and fit in my schedule, and I don't have to worry about international travel.

Singapore does sound viable. It should net close to 18K round trip for $1200-1400 range has been my experience, usually via HKG or sometimes NRT.
Singapore is a comfortable airport, and you might even want to spend a night or two before returning home.

Hey, just saw this thread. I'm trying to get 10,200 miles in one trip to keep 2P. IAD-LAX-SFO-HNL-SFO-LAX-IAD. 3 out of 4 long legs are 767s or 777s with good chance for UDU. Cost is just under $800 but I can knock it in one weekend. I am worried that my turnaround is only 2 hours in HNL. Is this enough time?

help!
I am in the same boat--trying to make 1k before the end of the year out of WAS with about 17k miles to go and a couple trips planned.
Since I'm pretty new to this, I was wondering if someone could point me towards the resource that helps you find itineraries with extra legs.
My planned trips are WAS - SEA and WAS - DEN.

Need 18K from Denver
Hey Folks
I also need about 18K miles
I'm looking for a weekend in late November or early December to SIN but I can't seem to find upgradeable fares for under $1900!
I've got SWU's to burn and have in the past done this run for like $1100.
UA's website is also making it hard to find W fares at all.
Help!
Thanks so much
