Need help with MR out of DFW/DAL on NW/DL/CO
Hello All,
Just moved to DFW/DAL area, and I need 20,000 EQM to hit Gold on NW. I am not sure of MR options out of TX, unlike TN where I used to live before, and hit Silver out of TN. So, any help will be appreciated. I am willing to take red-eye's, open to travel on weekends, and prefer same-day turnarounds if possible. Budget is about $200 per trip.
Thanks,
WL

Ok, the big issue is time. Once mid December hits, rates go through the roof. Rather than go for domestic craziness, I'd look overseas.
Orbitz is showing bookable:
Dec 1-2 CO, DFW-EWR-FRA-EWR-DFW for $580
Dec 7-9 NW, DFW-DTW-FRA-DTW-DFW for $505
If the CO flights post full eqm, that will put you at 20,777 for $1085
If not, you can make the first weekend run on NW for about $100 more
EDIT: There's now a same day turn, Nov 7-8, DFW-FRA on NW for $512. Wasn't there last night when I posted.

Thanks for your help Smailtronic. I booked one trip, had schedule conflicts on other days.
