YVR-YYJ is only 39 miles, so I suspect the optimal solution to this problem involves that route in a fare that earns PQS.

Ah right, knew there was a reason I skipped trying to use intra-CA STALK yesterday.

I believe that YVR (Vancouver) - YCD (Nanaimo) clocks in at a nice 34 miles. Though my receipt from the last time I flew the route doesn't seem to list distance.

Topic Reminder

Shortest flight is a fun game ( such as https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...-purchase.html), the OP posed a question for those that actually qualified and not some theoretical possibility. So let's returned to the original question

Almost. 88,585 PQM on 120 PQS and $16,104. Regular runs to BHM, LEX, MEM and others east of the Mississippi with no direct ex-IAD. Can’t wait to pre-board the CR2 next year!
