Thank you as well. I also checked from Condor website, only with flex option can get 100%, otherwise only 75% or 50% depend on price

Welcome to Flyertalk JackstrawAK ^. There are a lot of was to earn 10,000 AS miles, but we can't begin to guess which one is best for you....because you didn't say what you home airport is!

Please take a second to look at the wiki on this thread, and reply back with the information required to help answer your question.

Try HNL-SAN in that middle segment and you'll probably have a better chance of being upgraded. Not as many elites as SEA.

So I am having to cancel my mileage run I had booked. So I am in need of a new one.

Needing about 4000 miles for Gold.

Base City can be PDX, LAX area. Any of the airports in LA area will work. Stationed down here for work currently. Ideally a one day turn around.

Dec 7th to Dec 9th Currently booked. Otherwise most days are available if I can make it a one day turnaround. I am not against red eye flights provided I can be back by noon.

Any my suggestions would be great. I saw a PDX to JFK for $340. But wanted to know if anyone could find anything better.

Trying to keep it under $600.

There are also a few options of LAX-PDX/SEA-MSP/MKE for just over $300 around the 11th/12th/13th. Midwest during early December? Nothing finer....

Try LAX-BWI-LAX. Each way is $109, much cheaper. Leaves at 8:45pm and you'll be back at 11:13am next day. Tickets available on both 12/11 and 12/12.

Also try KOA instead of HNL since big island tourism dropped a lot after the eruption, so flights tend to be cheaper.

Nice! That's a good deal (especially given the current saver shenanigans): 4.5 cpm
