UA: Need 6,400 PQM from IAD/DCA/BWI for UA Plat

Travel dates any of 12/29, 12/30, 12/31 ideally

I'm messing with long runs like IAD-SFO-LAX-IAD type itin's but havent priced anything compelling.

Any help or ideas appreciated

You could fly BWI-ORD-YVR-DEN-IAH-FLL-MCO-IAD Dec29-Dec31 $850. Not a really good MR, but better than most with such little time.

Also, check the FLL-MCO segment, it is operated by Silver Airways and may not give you credit. If it doesn't this won't work.

UA:$695 DCA-MEX rt in First 6934PQM

Here's an idea:

UA:$695 DCA-MEX rt in First 6934PQM (w/ 50% class-of-service PQM bonus)
Tue 29 Dec
UA5708 DCA-ORD 0600-0716
UA359 ORD-MEX 0820-1245
UA474 MEX-ORD 1500-1905
UA5716 ORD-DCA 2100-2349

Multiple dates and flight combinations possible. Depending on exactly how many miles you actually need, you could also fly thru IAH in one direction and save some time (for slightly under 6400PQM). Fare is also valid out of IAD.

Note: the blue "book with United" button on Google Flights seems to be broken. But you can manually search for the same flights on UA.com, it seems to show up just fine.

Good luck!

I needed about the same in a mileage run, preferably a little longer. I did not want to overnight. I was trying all over the country and the most I could find in a day was about 5000 eqms. Going business or first anywhere was prohibitive. I hadn't thought about MEX and DCA is my local airport. So, thanks to you, I can earn 7000 in a day. Great idea. If you have anything for a little more without an overnight, I'd appreciate the suggestion.

This is excellent for what I need given the time of year. Thank you. Booking it!

sternmd, glad I could help. With all the help I've received here, it's great to be able to give back.

Madisonman39, what's your PQM requirement, and when can you travel? For example, Dec 17 DCA-IAH-PTY-EWR-DCA is $843 for 8500PQM, which is also about 10cpm. (Redeye to EWR, so no overnight at PTY.)
