Feasible effort?
Hey guys,
Thanks to some help from this forum I was successful in flying to Japan in february for free. You are all amazing and I thank those who answered my newbie questions!
So, part two. An opportunity to revisit Japan has been sprung on me... in about two weeks.
I was wondering if you guys think if it's even feasible to pull of the miles requires in that short span of time (I think it's 60k round trip). I have, to my knowledge, less than 1000 miles.
Pardon me if this is the wrong forum section... not sure where else to drop this.
Cheers friends
P.s. has anyone done something this quickly before?

Hi
Leaving the (non)availability issue aside for such popular last minute In'tl coach RT, I don't foresee any way you can get 60k miles within the next 2 weeks. Any new CC bonus will take, at minimum, 4-6 weeks from the get-go just to reach your FF account.
So is it possible for you to be able to do this again with miles? Absolutely. ^ Is it possible to do it this month? I doubt it.

There were some good DL mileage run deals to Japan recently - $500 RT AI, might want to play around with Vayama.com to see if there are any left - check the MR Forum for more info.

Looks like it may be gone now, but that said I did manage to find some prices previously with some effort (changing the flight dates around a lot).. but maybe too late now - here is the link:
