You didn't state where you are.
Do you have a passport?
Have many EQPs, EQSs, EQMs do you have?
You are, of course, short on time and holidays are not great on fares.
So, you need to go before the Christmas travel period..
6 transcontinental flights would do it.
2 round trips SEA-JFK-LHR-DME is almost 30K
I think you can do a roundtrip at DME without a visa, but I am not sure.
I only picked DME, because it is far away, and I was there 2 weeks ago.
I guess it is a matter of how much money you have to spend and how much time you have. If flying a partner, make sure you book a fare that earns at least 100 percent EQMs, or fly under an AA flight number. If you book as an AA flight, you will get the same miles as if on AA.

I agree the MR forum is the best place for this post. I'll ask the mods to move it.
we'll be happy to help for free if you can answer mvoight's questions. It would be good to know if there are any particular days you can't travel.

Sounds like someone needs help putting together some mileage runs.
I'll send this to the Mileage Run Discussion forum.

Please provide the following -
your origin airport or airports
any days that you are not able to fly
the exact number of miles that you need
The cost is likely to be between $1500 and $2000, are you willing to pay that much?

Thank you!
DFW is home and yes I have a passport.
I have two trips not flown which will leave me with needing 28,421 to make EXP.
I could also purchase the boost, but I would still need to fly an additional 13,421 miles to be able to purchase it.
Yes, I would be willing to pay.
