Need 20 segments for AA Exec Plat
 
Newbie here when it comes to searching for segments, Looking to do 2 10 segment runs on AA to keep Exec Platinum next year. I am okay with traveling overnights as I have vacation time to use up anyway.

Looking to fly out of either XNA, TUL, DFW, FSM, DFW, and would like to eventually end up in CVG, CMH, IND, DAY, LEX, SDF, before Dec 24th.

Appreciate any help I can get.

Fly to ORD and then back and forth between ORD and MKE all day. Looks like five round trips per day.

Unfortunately not, all of my AA status is based on segments XNA-DFW-AMA is my typical flight so its all short haul.

Ill take a look and see what I can get. My idea was to do TUL-DFW RT since you can usually go for $85 but couldn't find any availability.

Sample:
DFW-CLT-CLE-CLT-RDU-PHL-DCA is $310/ 6 segments on Dec 16th.
DCA-CLT-RDU-CLT-DCA is $201/ 4 segments on Dec. 17th.
DCA-CLT-STL-DFW is $199/ 3 segments on Dec. 17th.

Would be a total of $710/13 segments. I'm sure someone can do better, but you have options similar to this.

I can certainly do weekdays since I have some vacation to burn up. I like all those options above. $50 a segment is pretty decent, I will probably do the DCA one starting on the 17th since I just booked a OW from DFW-DCA on Delta for $86.

I can get to SDF/CVG/CMH anytime just wanted to make sure it was by the 24th.

Best TUL-DFW same day turns this month are 12/24, 12/25, and 12/31 (none of those dates likely ideal) at 147.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 8:55 pm.
