Need 11,782 miles (5,891 flight miles) on AA
(MODS: I tried to post this in the "Need Help" thread that the sticky points to, but it's closed.)
I need 11,782 miles before the end of the year (5,891 flight miles) on AA. I'm currently in LAS at my in-laws house with nothing to do until Sat morning, so I'm looking to do a MR.
I found LAS-DFW-BOS for $183 o/w, but that doesn't quite get me to 11,782. So I thought maybe I could route through LAX, but the price shot way up -could be because of routing rules (which I couldn't find)??? I also looked at LAS-BOS/NYC/WAS/PHL/MIA, but none of them got me to the magical 11,782.
So I'm wondering if some kind soul out there wouldn't mind spending a few minutes to help a brother out. Anyone?
Thanks in advance!!!

I was able to price out LAS-LAX-BOS-LAX-LAS departing tomorrow (11/28) at 7 pm for $365.20
The total mileage looks to be 5695, but does AA give 500 mile minimums to elites? That would bring the total up to 6222 miles.

Yes to AA elites receiving 500 mile minimums and your numbers are correct: 6222 EQM for most BOS-LAX-XXX round trip itineraries, where XXX is 500 mile minimum (e.g. LAX-SAN/MRY/FAT/PHX/LAS etc.)
