Any good deals flying out of IAH? Need about 2500 EQM and am looking to do a weekend trip somewhere either early March or Mid-late April. I would like to keep it under $800 or so. Thanks!

IAH-PHL-DCA-DFW-IAH day trip 3/4 is $198, 2855 miles.
IAH-CLT-DCA-BOS-DFW-IAH day trip 3/4 is $233, 3424 miles.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks JBeckett

Forgive my ignorance after all these years, but is there a way to do a reverse look up of best fares between point AAA-BBB with no date in specific? Like, I could fly out of DFW, TYL, GGG, SHV or even AUS, ACT, or IAH with a final destination of CNX?

Use google.com/flights. In the originating field, you can enter up to five airport codes, separated by commas. For example, dfw,tyl,ggg.chv,aus. In the destination you can also have up to five, but you can just put cnx.

Now select a departure and return date. Now click on the departure date and you will see a calendar showing the cost of the trip with departure on each day. The cost is for a trip of the length that you specified via the departure and return dates.

Nothing but flying...at least you get to lie flat for a portion of it:
Sat-Sun: IAH-DFW-MIA-IAH (M80/772/319) Business Class: $659, $5,170 EQM

Hey guys. Long time lurker and first time poster. Doing a few MRs to get EXP this year.

Just booked my first bona fide MR yesterday. April 22-23 in J going DFW-PHX-SEA-LAX-DFW, taking the overnight from LAX to arrive back early the next morning. $886 for ~8300 eqm (2x the BIS miles).

The midnight overnights from LAX seem cheap and give you opportunity to work west in late afternoon/early evening.

Departure Airport:TXL
Miles Needed: 16000
Required Spend or Budget: $900
Available Travel Dates: Thurs-Mon from April-December
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Codeshares ok

What "AA metal" is there at TXL?

Good point, don't know how that slipped in there. I'm a new poster

TXL-LHR-IAH-DFW-LHR-TXL is $1029 in PE on May 6-8 only; 10,989 real miles = 16,484 EQM. That's the closest I can find for doing it in one trip.

There are 2 weekends in May where you could fly TXL-LHR-ORD RT for $455 each in Econ; buy from AA to get long-hauls AA-marketed, earning over 8k EQM each.

SCL is perfect distance-wise, and price-wise in Econ, but on BA/IB/LA earning is only .5x.

Departure Airport: CLT, GSO, RDU
Miles Needed: open
Required Spend or Budget: $1500, could stretch to 2k
Available Travel Dates: May 23-30
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Codeshares ok

Prefer J. I'm EP and looking for miles to maintain. Open to anywhere that doesn't require a Visa.

I will be about 30k short of EXP for next year so I wanted to get started early. For the life of me cannot find anything good out of STL. Any thoughts?

Departure Airport: STL
Miles Needed: as much as possible but over 20k preferred
Required Spend or Budget: $1000-1500
Available Travel Dates: May 15-18
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Codeshares okay

Thanks guys!
