Maximize Miles on DEN-DUS
 

I need to go to Dusseldorf next month, and can only fly economy. This is the first year that I am only a Premier Platinum and it is killing me. I will be able to make 1K again, but I don't want to have to do a December MR if I can avoid it. Can anyone recommend a legitimate routing that will maximize my United miles for this trip?

I assume you are talking about PQMs not RDMs?

DEN-SFO-IAH-MUC-DUS 8519 Miles
DEN-SFO-IAD-FCO-MUC-DUS 8891 Miles

The first one only has 7246 miles with 500 min.
OP, you can do multiple destination search at united.com by adding some cities in the middle such as SFO, e.g., DEN-SFO, SFO-DUS, DUS=SFO and SFO-DEN. Good luck.

why would you post something like this?

multi destination search on United.com is garbage BTW. Use ITA to find the best routing using UA and UA* commands inserting places like SFO, IAH, FCO etc. to build it up, then link it out to a booking engine or via google flights.

routing rules DEN-DUS are this:
