AA help from LAX
 

I need help to accumulate 12,000 EQM sometime between 12/22-12/31. I registered for AATHX. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try pricing domestic non-stop long haul including LAX-HNL,JFK,BOS,FLL,DCA/IAD,MIA. Each RT will normally earn about 5k miles.

OP needs minimum 3000 EQM's each way. Then 2x and 2x. Could drive to SAN. Then fly SAN-LAX-BOS-LAX-SAN to net >12000 EQM's.Good luck.

lax-nyc-sju rt might do it....maybe do lax-sfo if you need it....you need 6 or 12k flight mi?...for 6k, lax-sfo-bos rt w/500 mi min....

also look at lax-sju rt for 6k bis....

No SFO-BOS nonstop anymore. SAN-LAX-BOS-LAX-SAN is the best bet. Due to the dates involved, it will not be cheap at all. LAX-JFK-BOS-JFK-LAX "may" work, but technically that is only 5950 EQMs RT (11900 EQMs), which may fall just short.

Thanks to everyone from the tips and advice. After running all of the various routes provided above, I decided to book a cheap ($251.60 ai) mid-December, mid-week LAX-MIA ticket (should be lower risk w/r/t weather than the North East) and will separately look at opportunities to close the remaining gap based on opportunities as they arise.

would drive to santa barbara or san diego and book XXX-LAX-DESTINATION...

There are some LAX-AUS and LAX-DFW non-stops at $141 and $138 each way Xmas eve and Xmas day depending how many miles you still need after your MIA flight. Should be able to avoid any weather issues on those!!
