Recommendations for Mile Run from DCA?

Hey guys -- I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good destinations for mile runs from DCA (low $/mile). Thanks!

I recommend some thorough research of your own, followed by a visit to the Mileage Run forum.

You missed an opportunity not too long ago to fly from Baltimore to Los Angeles on Delta Air Lines for approximately US$139.00 round-trip, including all taxes and fees, for almost 6,000 Medallion Qualification Miles.

As UpgradeMe stated, this information was found in the Mileage Run forum, which is now the new home for this thread.

Welcome to FlyerTalk, gdudg!

Welcome to FT!

One thing you'll quickly learn is that FTers are more than happy to help those who extend a little effort on their own part.

But given that you haven't even told us which airline you fly I think you'll have to try a bit harder.

First, expand your scope of starting locations. Definately IAD, probably BWI, outer possibles might include RIC or PHL.

Second, with no indication of what airline, and what status and such, there's not much anyone can say.

There is a lot of info in stickies both in this forum and that of the airline(s) that you are interested in. Spend time reading those, as otherwise it would be half useless for us to post anything as you won't even be able to understand the language without the prep work.

Although this thread was originally posted in the Delta forum, gdudg could consider flying on such airlines as Northwest, Alaska, Air France and to a lesser extent Continental in order to earn Delta Air Lines SkyMiles and Medallion Qualification Miles.
