Need 700 UA miles to maintain gold EUG-?

Ah, so close!! At the end of 2015, I'll have 49,306 miles (and that's assuming Aegean gives me 211 of actual miles flown--I don't always manage to get foreign airline miles credited, though, so I wouldn't mind overshooting).

In Eugene, Oregon, current Gold member. Can go anywhere, any time--I just take my laptop and work. BUT, out of the country October 29-November 23. So has to be before or after that.

My travel agent found a EUG-SLC for $481.20. Can anyone here beat that?

Oh bootstrapper you just missed the EWR mistake fare!! Sorry man.

Not a great MR for CPM but it will get the job done EUG-SFO-LAX-SFO-EUG $188 12/5, $178 EUG-SFO-SLC-SFO-EUG 12/5.

Fire your travel agent

EUG-SFO-LAX-SFO-EUG is $188 on 10/27 or 10/28, also quite a few days in December.

Wow, thank you! That is awesome. (Although I died a little inside when I did a forum search for EUG and found a first-class deal EUG-EWR for $391 ... apparently expired. Ah, the ones that get away.)

I know. I ... I know. I wish I hadn't seen that! lol First class is probably more comfortable than my home office. It would have been a relaxing day at work!

SLC is the cheapest I see, $178 for r/t on lots of days in December.

Dec 5,7,8, 15 as sample dates. DEN-SFO-SLC-SFO-DEN. Book into G class.
