Would like to use my 50% off code for a MR from SFO the weekend of Jan 18/19. I tried doing the multi-city search for some SFO to JFK (and rerouting back through SEA or SAN) but the site keeps erroring out on me. Any tips for searching? Would like to avoid spending the night at the airport if possible but it seems like there are no west to east red-eyes that weekend.

There's some rediculously cheap flights on Alaskaair.com on Porter between Vancouver & Florida in November, $112 FLL-YVR, and you can turn around and fly back for almost the same amount. Apparently when you book on alaskair.com, you get 100% EQM for PD flights. My outbound is $0.03/mile

. I work full time so MRs during the week are tough. Need to think on this some more.

This is not as lucrative as last year's double connection through CLT for $22 more, but I just need a top-up trip to at least attain MVPG for next year (currently 75K but probably won't be able to re-qualify for 2025):
I see at least a couple other days this is available later on this year.

It is milecalc.com. It is outdated, but still good for determining distances. Alaska Airlines is in the Select Airline drop down list, however, it was never updated to reflect the MVPG100K Elite Tier. It never handled mixed cabin itineraries nor different COS bonuses in the same cabin.

wow, that's a good deal. Do you mind sharing how to book such itineraries? multi-city search might not work in this case, right?

Mileage Runs to Australia and New Zealand
Has anyone looked into mileage runs to Australia and New Zealand purchased through the Alaska Airlines website? I just received an email for a limited time offer.

Cheap for sure but nothing more brutal that 15(?) hours in economy each way. And probably major DVT risk if you do a quick turn.
