Would like 37k on DL by the end of the year

Ok, so due to certain family situations, I have not been able to MR consistently the way I would throughout the year, and I am quite a bit behind where I would like to be on DL this year.

What I am looking for is actually a way to just spend 5 days flying DL and get everything knocked out. I would like to leave on a Sunday or Monday and be home before Saturday in a given week.

I fly out of CHS.

I can really only do it on the week of Nov 1, Nov 8, Nov 22, or Nov 29.

I prefer Delta metal as I have some GUCs that I would like to use along the way.

It's kind of a stretch and I will probably just settle for the next status down and roll over some miles and hit it again next year. I'm still working on options, but have seen some amazing and creative mileage runs on the forums and wanted to see what some of you guys might come up with.

I am also open to Premium Economy solutions on AF/AZ and any premium sale fares that accomplish the same thing in less time. Of course, I would like to do it all for $2500, but could go $3k probably.

I appreciate any insights!

NYC-SIN-NYC twice will get the miles, out Sunday return Tuesday, then out Wednesday return Friday. For week of Nov 22 this is $752 for the first trip, $762 for the second.

That's awesome! I can't believe that SIN is so cheap out of NYC. It was coming up over $2K out of CHS even when forcing connections in NYC. A positioning flight with two NYC-SIN trips looks like the way to go.

I really appreciate that!

Grrrrr.... Looks like those fares disappeared before I could get everything booked! At least Matrix isn't showing them anymore. Hoping that they come back this week or next!

Edit: Now I am seeing it again... There is hope.
