NW: Need 3863 miles from MSP
Hi all,
This is my first MR so please be gentle
I'm close to Silver for the first time ever (just started traveling for work) and need help getting there.
Current miles: 21137 (19181 current plus a trip to PHL already booked)
Dates: has to be a weekend, except Dec 15/16
I can find the well-known MSP-SLC-ORD-ATL-MSP on DL for Dec 8, same day turn, $160. However it leaves me 120 miles short
and I can't figure out how to force another segment in there. I could go through SLC on both legs, but then it's not same day.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Is the fare available if you replace ORD with CVG?
MSP-SLC-CVG-ATL-MSP = 3848 EQM

Any possibility of adding a CVG connection in either direction? Like MSP-CVG-SLC-ORD/CVG-ATL-MSP=4808(ORD)/4902(CVG).
Even MSP-CVG-SLC-CVG-MSP=4092EQM.
Even MSP-CVG-SLC-CVG-MSP=4092EQM.

BINGO !! www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=760878
just up on FareCompare - Pick out TWO you like
Tested LAX on NWA.com = $130ai. MSP-MEM-LAX r/t works, but decent pricing hadn't kicked in.

Hey, thanks for the headsup! That's just what I needed. I saw those fares come across for Sun Country last night and was hoping NW would match them. The only problem is that they aren't on NWA.com yet, and I'm antsy...guess I'll book on Travelocity.
Plus I don't have to do it in two trips. I found MSP-CVG-SFO-MSP on 12/1, red-eye return on 12/2. 4214 miles for $134.20 = 3 cents/mile.
