40K WOW!
Welcome to FT!
Best suggestion I have if you can move QUICK! ORD-HNL $342 R/T w/coupon readily available on CC. That puts 9K each flight. No advance purchase, leave today if you want and no min stay, so same day (1hr) turns. |

ORD-FRA-SIN-FRA-SIN good luck :D |
hmmm..you could hope you'll travel more next year?
or buy a premium ticket somewhere like SYD or SIN. |
Do your MRs early next year - you'll still keep status (if you have it) until the end of February and you'll have a much better chance at catching some good fares (think Europe in Jan/Feb). You get status early in 2009 and it'll last until 2/2011.

But that might mean needing a lot more miles than 40K to maintain a higher status that you only need 40K if taken through EOY. I am doing this variation myself but I booked it months ago and doing a lot of flying the first 11 days of January. John |

If you need 40K in two weeks, just go for 50K in eight and a half! I did this last year, using cheap HKG and FRA fares to get up to 1P by 2/28. I have been a whole lot more relaxed this December than in the past...! |
I'd love to know the end result as my guess is that you had to have 40k you didn't end up pulling the trigger. Just too late in the game. Good luck.

I believe SeattleFred did something like 48K in the last two weeks of December last year. :p
