Need Help! DL MR out of ATL

Many year GM seeking to finally make PM would like to make MR Saturday, 11/24-25 out of ATL. Don't care about location, need about 5k mqms. Don't care where.

Thanks for anyone who has some advice. If I had learned about MRing early, this wouldn't be my first shot at PM. You help of a newbie will be karmically rewarded I am sure.

DL MR's out of Atlanta are hard to get. The best runs that I have found in the ATL area have been on NW out of CHA, HSV, BHM, and TYS. You occasionally find a good deal out of Macon, but no real direct flights. you go 2x on the weekly web fare specials but they don't really deliver the cost/EQM.

look at other carriers you get 100%EQM on, AS, CO, NW.

Let me know what you find. I am done booking MRs for this year, but I have started booking for the 2008 requal.
go to farecompare.com for most of your MR needs.

Also NW tends to allow more segments then CO or DL. DL seems to have beet Q-up fares, they float around every now and then.


WELCOME TO FT^^^^

clearly Hub MR's bite.
my two DL MR's this year were MCI-SLC-LAX, and IAH-ATL-SJC.

I wish I understood the rationale for moving threads.....

there is another MR thread on the front page of the Delta Forum, been there since 345AM started by a poster with 1500 posts...

Now we have a new thread about doing a MR on Delta out of Atlanta with it being the posters first post, and it gets hidden.
