LAX to CLT (various routings) is under $300 for several days, three of these would do it.

If you have a China visa, LAX-PVG-LAX out 12/26 return 12/28 is $716, 12960 miles.

LGB to HND is $955 out 12/26 return 12/28. Choose a routing that earns enough miles, and remember to take the 500 mile minimum into account if you have status.

Google has owned ITA for a while so the underlying tech is the same, just more user friendly (and a lot faster in most cases). It's handy for sharing certain itineraries as it allows direct linking to a finished search.

OP: Start by typing LAX in google flights and "North America" as destination, and see what comes up. Good luck.

Departure Airport: DFW
Miles Needed: 9,337 to maintain Plat

Available Travel Dates: November 11-13, 18-20

The best one i've found thus far for me for those dates is DFW-PEK $826RT with an immediate turnover. Basically I land and re-board a few hours later...
