Need Help w/ AA Fast Track: 25k EQp from GIG/GRU

Hey Guys,

This is my first time trying to figure out a MR so I am very confused form where to start. I tried the whole afternoon to figure out how to do It but I just hit 2,500 $, what I think is pretty bad (0,10/eqm). I tried all five continents but couldn't find anything worthwhile. Maybe Antartida?

Could you please help me in planning this?

I appreciate any help in the issue.

Best regards.

AA has an amazing deal out of Seoul right now, $2700 USD Seoul to Dallas roundtrip. That comes out to 34,000 miles with F cabin bonus (50%) and elite bonus (100%).

Thanks djmac20. But I am not sure that the cabin bonus and elite bonus counts to the Fast Track. Beside, I am not in USA. I am trying to figure out the HNL-BAQ run, but reach HNL is not that easy too.

Thanks.

Cabin bonus does count for the fast track, but the extra miles aren't (with the 2015 promo).
You'll have to fly a premium cabin or pay higher Y fare to get the full 1 EQP, which is usually not cheap.
Some creative routings on the EU-US business class deals yielded about the 25k EQP for $2000 but that's probably not very convenient for you.

Thank you lack. The best option I came by was gig - pek for something about 750$ in a cheap fare (so it is 0.5 EQp). Going twince in a short period it is almost impossible.

With the cabin bonus that you've mentioned I would have to get something near 17k miles to obtain 25k eqp. The creative routes between EU-US may be worth trying. The HNL-BAQ-PTY game is very far complicated for me.

P.s.: If I understood correctly I can try IB, BA, JAL and quantas too, but I am not having good times neither.

What dates are you using to find that fare? I'm not finding anything less than $5,800 on AA metal.

EDIT: Never mind I found it! Takes some tricky clicking on the calender

Thanks Flyingeph. It still a good amount of cash. I will put some thought in it.

If I could find something around this to Europe would be great to, with 16,7 k miles in business I could get Exp. But didn't find anything. (and in Europe I could have some vacation too )

What about this:

11/6 AA962 GRU-DFW
11/7 AA50 DFW-LHR
11/13 AA51 LHR-DFW
11/13 AA96 DFW-GRU

77Ws all the way.

R$9,985 at the moment.
