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.)

Need 4 segments from DEN

Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value): Budget of $400
Available Travel Dates: 12/15 - 12/16
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: UA
Route(s) You've Already Searched: Searched a few routes, DEN-SEA with stops in SFO seems to be a decent price and I have family in SEA, although I am open to anything

If anyone has any good options for 4 segments from DEN on the weekend of 12/15 I'd appreciate any help. The shorter and cheaper the better, just need 4.
Thanks in advance

6 Segment from CLE/CAK
Departure Airport: CLE or CAK
Miles Needed: 6 or possibly 10 segments to Gold (will depend on a last minute work trip happens)
Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value): <$90 per segement
Available Travel Dates: Dec 14-16, or anything after Dec 21, including Christmas eve/day
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay:
Route(s) You've Already Searched: I have found routes that will give me about $90 per segement, which is doable for me, but I want to see if someone is able to come up with some convoluted route I have not thought of. Considered a first class round trip flight with 1 stop each way to get 1.5 segments per segment to save some time as well. Prices were a little higher, but not too outrageous, and a big time saver.

UA:$218 DEN-JAN rt 2724PQM (w/ 500mi min)
If so, this is another option:

UA1192 DEN-IAH 0530-0845
