US: Need 18K for Chairmans
Hi all,
So a friend didn't plan his travels properly and is coming up 18K short of Chairmans on US. He's willing to spend up to $1,500 to do some MRs, and available after the 15th of Dec, ex-PHL or NYC.
I looked around for some possible trips, but I am coming up dry with anything within that price range in those dates.
Would anyone have any suggestions on what I could recommend him?
Thanks!

EWR-HNL (same day turn) on UA is ~$485 this weekend and nets ~10k miles. Goes up significantly after the 15th though...
PHL-DUB is ~$750 12/15-16 but only 6,500 miles. Can fly ex NYC and add a couple stops (EWR-PHL-DUB-PHL-CLT-EWR) for ~$800 to increase to ~8k miles.
Those together would get the 18k miles. Use Google flights to get those routings on those dates if that might work for him.

Well, yes, they do. It's just not as blatantly displayed. You have to do the workaround for it. See this thread for more details. I'm not entirely conversant on it.
