Need 17,136 AA EQM's from ORD

Hello fellow MR's,

I am looking for help to put together an itinerary to pick up at least 17,136 AA EQM's from ORD in order to pick up EXP. Would prefer to do it over a weekend or multiple weekends (11/6, 12/11, etc). International is ok, prefer domestic though.

Any thoughts? All help would be appreciated!! Thanks.

Hi Geau, can you give me the exact routing for that 11/7 MR? Searching for this on Google flights and aa.com it's both giving me $439. Thanks!

I strongly encourage you to look at one single long MR. What Geauxtigers is suggesting is great....really good finds, but you'r only 1/2 way there and looking at booking 3 or 4 separate tickets in all, and this time of year that is risky. If one of those tickets goes WX and you can't get a ORC you'r looking at the heart of the holiday travel season and being 3-5K short. It will be frustrating if you come up short.

Take a look at ORD-CGK tickets in November. For $850 you can fly about 20K which is 4.1cpm. I know those are some butt numbing flights, but I think you'll be happier pulling the band-aid off (as they say) and not trying to put three or four different one day trips together this time of year.

I agree... I just did my first real long-Haul MR (10,000 miles over a weekend... Yes I know that's not as hard core as it could have been!). If I had done that 10,000 miles doing shorter trips it would have taken much more time. It was nice to get it all out of the way at once.

I agree with Madone59. It will be a long weekend, but I think it's worth it. If you really want to split it up, I would recommend at competing it in only 2 weekends.

The following will get you very close if you route through DFW both ways:

Read the China visa info. Transits are allowed, but I've heard of issues if the gate agent isn't aware of the transit rules.

Also check the forum for more ideas:
