I need 29EQMs by the end of the year to reach Platinum, any ideas out of SEA (PDX or YVR are fine).
Also I'm BAEC Silver thru 2018, is it possible to request a status match to get to Plat faster?
Thanks!

AA Exec Plat Miles Run Help
Hi All, I'm wondering if you could help me out with any miles run suggestions to make AA Executive Platinum by EOY. And apologies in advance -- this is my first post to FlyerTalk as I'm a newbie!
In order to organize the end-of-year crush of Mileage/Status/Challenge Run threads, the Moderators have decided to create a consolidated thread for the airlines with the most frequent requests. This is the thread for American Airlines.
For each request, please include the following information:
Departure Airport: LAX, BUR
Miles Needed: 21,235
Required Spend or Budget: ~$1,200 but flexible
Available Travel Dates: Dec 1 or 2 through 3 or 4; Dec 8 or 9 through 10 or 11
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Yes
For each response. Please quote the original request.

For some of your Google links it is showing the JL flight numbers (not the AA codeshare).
If you haven't yet booked, you'll want to make sure you book the AA codeshare, as the JL coach flights will probably earn just 50% EQM:

I'm surprised CGK deals are still out there; they've been steady for about 2 years now...but I haven't yet booked one.
