Wow this thread 👌 My people! I'll need to pull off 1-2 runs for ExP by Dec 26, suggestions from ORD welcome!

D1 great recommendation. I didn’t think of that

Only worth if for exec platinum. I did an ORD to Dublin (cheapest Europe destination). Used worldwide upgrades to get in business. Literally got of plane and got back on the same plane 3 hours later to go home. Had to be home for the holidays so that was the only way to do it.

DCA-CLT-CHS-CLT-PHL-DCA in one day for 140 bucks. Got the segments.

I did 2 RTs to HKG from east coast in a weekend. Got me on EXP for the full next year - but this was back when upgrade priority was based on date of booking. Even still, the IRROPS support was well worth it

I’m on a mileage run right now, sandwiching a conference between it, flew to NY yesterday from that nightmare ORD situation and flying to SFO soon, then Thurs redeye back to NY and home to ORD Friday

When US Airways existed I did BWI-PHX-SAN-CLT-BOS overnight 3 times on sundays instead of DCA-BOS so I could hit 30K miles in 90 days for Chairman

Crazy but worth it! Flew each segment in F too

Once did LAX-ORD-PEK, 3 hours later opposite return. SWUs each way. $500, 16.5k butt in seat miles. Requalified for ExP off it. Worth.

Following - might need 24k miles to retain exec plat

If you take a trip that concludes in the evening of the 31st, but the miles don’t play until the next day, would that still count on 2019?

Mileage credit is based on scheduled date of departure.

LAX - SIN - shower at the hotel behind security - back to LAX.

DEN - IAH - SFO - LAS stayed one night and straight back to DEN. Anything more than one night in Vegas is too much for me so worth it.
