Help! Any recommendations for turnaround trips if I’m less than 10k miles from Exec Platinum on American Airlines? Is it worth it just to get the next level for another year?

Probably expensive but I think Hawaii was almost 5k one way from the east coast. I’ve only ever met it with segments so I’ve never done a mileage run myself but that status is totally worth it.

I did an Ohio to San Diego trip one year to get
My exec level

Yes it's definitely worth it. I would recommend using Google Flights, filtering for AA, and doing a global search. Whatever is cheapest wins...

PEK/ HKG routes are usually pretty cheap. Definitely worth it if you can use the SWU’s next year.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?
