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.)

United Mileage Run - 9700 miles?
Departure Airport: Washington, DC (DCA, IAD, or BWI). Could also make a departure happen from PHL, EWG, LGA, JFK.
Miles Needed: 9700 (or 12.5 segments)
Required Spend or Budget: $817
Available Travel Dates: Dec 21, any number of days until end of year
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: (I don't know)

Hoping some of the smart people in here who know how to search for mileage runs can help me figure out my best bet for loading on a huge number of miles right at the end of the year. I'm open to going pretty much anywhere.

The BQN is achievable for much less. I had it for $670 but waited a day too long and paid $720. Still available for $900 on certain dates. I may do one in Jan to start off year fast. Was $800 I believe
