For each request, please include the following information:
Departure Airport:
Miles Needed:
Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value):
Available Travel Dates:
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay:
Route(s) You've Already Searched:
Do you have a Chinese Visa (Yes/No)?
For each response. Please quote the original request. DO NOT START A NEW THREAD.
There are many good fares to China (PEK or PVG). If you have a Chinese visa, these options will be provided.
If your requested PQM is in a few thousand, please give a more accurate amount. You will get fewer options with a roundup number (eg, 5000 instead of 4830; IAD-SFO nonstop will work for the latter.)

LAX-MNL
LAX-MNL for nearly 16K miles, $880. Outbound is K fare but inbound is W fare (you can upgrade the return segments including GUM-HNL with a GPU). If your schedule is more flexible, you can try to get K fare both ways to minimize cpm.

Good luck.
Edit: $653 for the following dates, May 20-23 (needs to do same day change for the first segment):
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...=STAR_ALLIANCE
Edit 2: $602 for April 29 to May 2.
Edit 3: The previous 2-3 pages of this thread have some discussion of MNL transit and customs procedures.

Departure Airport: san, sna, lax
Miles Needed: 15k UA- ultimate goals is 100K this year to get me to 2MM on UAL
Required Spend or Budget: up to 750US
Available Travel Dates: 4/20-4/23
My challenge is I have an afternoon meeting in Spokane on 4/20 and cannot leave until 4/21 so I am trying to wrap this into this trip. I tried ITA but obviously not using it correctly because nothing is coming up. I appreciate any help. Not really concerned about where I fly, just trying to scratch this level off my list. Thanks for any assistance or pointing me in the right direction.

Departure Airport: SMF, SFO, HNL
Miles Needed: 15K
Required Spend or Budget: $1000 max
Available Travel Dates: Please see below
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: UA
I have to travel to HNL from SMF/SFO every week for the next 6-8 weeks and be there between Monday and Thursday. Is it possible to buy a ticket that allows me to do a mileage run with a stopover in HNL between Mon/Thursday. I can do the run on the weekend prior to Monday or the weekend after Thursday . Any help is greatly appreciated. I played with the MNL fares, but the stopover increases the fare drastically.

Here's a HNL - GUM - MNL run for $553 on a weekend. It's 10k miles, so you'd only need a 5k mile trip for another $500ish.
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...HNL1UA200;a=UA
Here's one from SMF. 16908 miles for $636: SMF - LAX - HNL - GUM - MNL - GUM - HNL - LAX - SMF. Not the most comfortable routing, but it's a decent cpm at 3.76

Welcome to Flyertalk Christopher Thong ^. I assume from your information you are crediting this MR to SQ. Is that correct?

OK, this may be a stretch but it looks like it will book for Ł454.
STN-MUC-BSL-FRA-JFK-FRA-MUC-STN
Also take a look at
STN-MUC-FRA-PHL-FRA-DUS-MUC-STN
You may want to check WhereToCredit.Com to make sure these LH flights and Eurowings code shares will credit to SQ before booking.

Ok, I will give this a shot. I'm one of these weirdos who actually enjoys airports and traveling so I'm not really trying to gain status for any other reason than as a personal achievement. I'm going to hit the PQD waiver from the United Club card soon so I'm just trying to get as close to Plat as possible this year. I have a week off at the end of June which I have nothing going on and am hoping you guys might be able to help. I know this is prime summer vacation season and prices seem to be inflated but I'm flexible. Also, I guess this isn't a typical mileage run per se, I have no problem staying a few days somewhere in order to gain the max cpm on the airfare. Thanks!
Departure Airport: IAH
Miles Needed: As many as possible
Required Spend or Budget: ~$1500
Available Travel Dates: 6/20 - 6/28
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: United preferred but, and *A carrier that will credit to MP is OK
