It's going to be hard to get that many miles because AL just isn't that far away. On ITA, I found the following for $279 (all on UA):

Oct 24 buf-iad-lga-ord-bhm
Oct 30 bhm-ord-sdf-clt-buf

That will give you around 4447 miles.

Or for $284, you could do:

Oct 24 buf-iad-lga-ord-bhm
Oct 30 bhm-ord-dtw-iad-clt-buf

That will give you around 4947 miles, far short of your goal. I tried adding an extra segment on the outbound, but that pushed the price up over $380. Don't know how much you want to spend.

There are many other combinations available, but I didn't see any that routed through SFO or LAX, so don't think they would make a huge difference in your miles. I'll let you play with those. Also didn't try HSV or MSY.

Maybe you could do 2 of those. Oct 24-27 and Oct 28-30 or something like that. I'm assuming you want to visit family in AL. So you go back home for 1 day in the middle of your visit.


Good luck
