Mileage Runs out of DFW?

Landing this year at 93K, so need to run out last 7K for EP -- live in Dallas. The mileage run deals never seem to originate at DFW?? No doubt competition drivien -- the price per mile out of DFW is higher??? Any comments about mileage runs originating DFW?

This is not the place to post a question. There's a MR discussion section.

Regarding MR from DFW, there was one this month to HNL that lasted a few hours ($400) and was perfect for you. Flights to Hawaii are cheap, definitely not mileage run material, but net you over 7k miles for about $600 (or less).

Zero day turns available in Nov to SJU for about $420 6.7 cents per mile. 6400 miles might be able to tack on another 600 miles to it cheaply.

OGG or HNL for 10k miles for about 650 6.2 cpm

I assume the OP is looking for AA mileage runs, since he is DFW based and his profile lists AA as his program.

Good point seeing some good SJU rates for AA but no 0 night returns. Seems to be all 2 nights
