starting MR early in Jan need help (AA)
I would like from now on, for everytrip I make to be a MR
I travel to BOM at least 4-6 times a year on AA/BA (out of LHR)
so if anyone has ideas on making the most of my trip, I would greatly appreciate your input. I fly out of ATL and stay no more then 3 days in BOM
thanks again

Sorry I have been searching for a while
Could not find anything via Europe to India
I tied multiple connections within the states and connections within Europe but very sad to report nothing great
Once again I do apologize

OK, this is the problem. I think we need to properly define Mileage Run as it is contradictory to request that every trip you make be a MR, but you have to make several on a specific route. Not all routes lend them selves to MR's, and very few MR's lend them selves to any type of schedule.
Mileage runs are (mostly) flown just to fly or earn miles. Some are lucky and flexible enough to vacation the place where the MR brings them. Over the years have I picked up tricks to make some required personal travel cheaper sure, but they almost never qualify as MR's.
If you are looking for cheap EU-India routes than you are not looking that hard because I know they exist. I even know they exist in this discussion forum!
As others have said, you need to learn to fish, you need to bring ideas to the table as well as learn from others. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Best of luck.
