Also note that for short length flights, the class of service bonus is on top of the 500 mile segment minimum and not strictly actual miles so a 110 mile segment in S will earn 750 EQM for example.

THere's an SJC-PHX-DEN and Back totalling just over 2700 miles for $235 on AA
I forgot to mention that I can also do AS parnters for this run. So my options are pretty open here. The only concern is that I only have 35 minutes on the layover in PHX and and the DEN to PHX is said to be usually 30 minutes delay. Not sure how accurate that is.

It's on the spendy side (~0.10-.11CPM) but under your stated budget and all out of the way in one trip. 17880 miles (14520 + 10% COS on CX + 1908 AS) for $1887. Can adjust the flight times on CX's website to pick the 7pm late departure to get 12 hours on the ground in HKG. Dates are flexible too.

Look at IAH-LAX-IAH-LAX-IAH first weekend of DEC for $352 and IAH-ATL-IAH for $141 on Dec 10th. That is 6,800+mi for under $500! Good luck.

Welcome to FT TheDutchDream. My first tip would be head over to the UA thread....this one is for Alaska Airlines. Also, give this thread a read too: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...ser-guide.html. Don't worry Mod's have already been alerted to move your post.

Milage run suggestions on AS
Me and my gf are currently mvpgold and have been for the last 3 years. We have a flight going YVR-SEA-FLL returning on Nov 24th this year. After that trip I need 3400 miles and she will be 9400 short. Looking for cheapest milage run ideas. Prefer to travel from YVR or BLI but can make it across border and drive 4Hrs to SEA if a lot cheaper. Thanks for any advice.
