at JFK from 23/03-25/03... any ideas for UA / Star Alliance?

Hi, I have two spare days in NYC. Landing at JFK 23/03 departing 25/03. Been to NYC plenty of times and need about 2000 miles. Any ideas for travel on UA / star alliance?

Thanks!

Other than P.S. service to LAX/SFO you are stuck with making connections to just about anyplace else. 2k miles is nothing and with 500 mile minimums.

Here is a little over 2500 miles for 184 a.i. as a quick 2 min search example.

Well if you don't know ITA then you certainly need to bone up if you want to optimize your MR's. Good luck and take a look at the help section, it is very informative. Great tool.

Thanks. Yes I've never needed a mileage run before this year, but planning on staying put for a while.

Then why make a run? If you're not going to be actually flying it seems that the benefits of making the run would be rather minimal.
