Hi All,
6 GPU expiring on 1/31/2016 (already called and had 2 extended- originally was 8).
Need a long distance flight (upgradable fares - GPU only) from USA to somewhere internationally with good turn times.
Right now I am planning on WAS-EWR-DEL-EWR-WAS to burn them. Need other suggestions. Better CPM is obviously appreciated.
Update: As posters noted I did not provide the price. The price for the W fare on that route is $1,550 USD for 15,468 miles. I have the last two weekends open in January and the couple days before that. Next weekend (MLK day) does not work as I already have an American flight booked.
Will award top candidate a free RPU (maybe two depending on how good).

from HKG to ORD and into DCA or IAD on the return. Lots of confirmable space on the return (R6). More miles (18,133) miles for less money ($1449) than you were planning on spending. You can probably find confirmable space on the outbound for less miles, but still more than you would have received through Delhi.
You can go to SIN and get about 19-20,000 miles, but the fare would be about $1800.

Due to two failed GPU attempts, I finished out 2015 with 4 GPUs left. I would have had 2 more RPUs, except I found a workmate heading to OGG on UA, so I was able to dump those two in Dec. I used 2 GPUs for a couple of my MRs in Jan, and the last two I used for a colleague flying IAD-LAX rt this week. Unfortunately, he didn't clear the waitlist on IAD-LAX this morning...ended up #18 on a GPU!!! Looks like I'll be getting that GPU back tomorrow.
With better paid rates in F, that's going to diminish availability in R further, and we're going to end up with even more RPU/GPU left at the end of this year.
