I don't like to count my chickens before they hatch but...
2 people 500,000 leave 3/30

500,000 miles - 3 people - 4/9 to 4/11
MIA-SAL-GUA-SJO-BOG-CCS-MIA
Overnighting GUA and CCS

The numbers keep growning! 28 people plan to do the 500,000 mile run and 13 are in it for 1,000,000 miles.

I take off in three hours for a 500,000 mile run. Will post when I return. Planning for the million when I get back from this Latin American run.

I am aware of 14 people who will be doing the 1,000,000 bonus---spread out from early May through late June.

2 More for the Million - My wife and I are leaving 4/28 and returning 5/14. Routing from MIA down to LIM, then working our way back up north and exiting out of MGA back to MIA. Tickets all purchased and rearing to go....

COMPLETED THE RUN on 5/14

Booked to fly from Kansas to Miami to Panama, Guayaquil, Quito, Lima, Cuzco, Lima, Quito, Bogota, Caracas, Miami and Kansas for the first 500K.
Next month I'll go Kansas, Miami, Managua, Guatemala, San Salvador, Miami, etc. to finish the 1,000,000.

This was my 500 K run. I flew Eureka, CA to Miami on a United Business class free ticket since it was the choice between an Anytime economy class or a Business class for the dates I needed. A no brainer at 40,000 miles for either option. I stayed at the Fairfield Inn (Marriott) for one hotel night. OK room with airport shuttle service for $90. Avianca from Miami to Caracas for $230 changing planes in Bogota, Colombia. Stayed the night at the Caracas Hilton on a point stretcher certificate for $10. The taxi ride was pretty **** scary since no seatbelt protection. Cost $35 for taxi each way. Caracas to San Jose, Costa Rica on Lacsa $310. SJO to El Salvador, then El Salvador to Guatemala City on Taca. Stayed at Radisson in Guatemala City for $85. $5 for taxi to/from airport. GUA to San Salvador on Aviateca, then SAL -SJO on Taca $530. San Jose - Managua on Copa $147. MGA -MIA on Lacsa (Nica) for $380. Stayed at the Fairfield Inn Miami airport a second night. The flights allowed me to travel pretty much in the daytime and not be too wiped out each night. I will be renting the car this next weekend and flying KLM in Europe in two weeks on a $125 ticket. I will be going back to Peru and Ecuador for the Aeropostal, Saeta, ACES, and Taca Peru segments in June. The airline service was exceptional on every flight. I truly enjoyed the experience.

500K 1 person. Flights (3-30/31) and hotels completed. Car hire requirement still to fulfill.
Might go for the remaining 500K in May/June

1 person - 500K - 3/28-3/30

I'm going for the million (need NICA, TACA PERU, SAETA, ACES) in June.

Cheers,
nsw

I will be going for the million miles on May 4th-7th beginning in Mexico City and ending in Miami. I'll post my itinerary as soon as I get confirmation of my fare from the travel agent. Initial routings on American Express web and Travelocity show fares totaling $2,100.

Myself and a friend are now planning a second run for another 500,000 miles at the end of June.
