Need mileage run pro tips. I am 2806 miles shy of keeping my status on Delta for next year and I don’t have any work trips on the calendar through EOY that will get me to that goal. I am thinking pending SkyMiles changes make this a good idea to pursue. What would be a good mileage run route you would recommend to hit that number, starting and ending in ATL?

Can’t help you with Delta, but I had this issue last year on United. One coastal trip business class should help a lot - and then look at day trips to get you the rest. I spent a pretty penny maintaining my status, but between the upgrades and the extra consideration for my family of 6 when we travel, it was worth it.

Thank you this is exactly my thinking as well.

For 2800 RT from Atlanta, look at LAX, PHX, just about anywhere west of the Rockies. You could go somewhere closer if you book first class since you get extra MQMs on first.

Great call on LAX. I found a great fare on an odd day, overnight. I will fly out, visit with a friend that evening and return home the next day. Thank you!

None of of these two companies are willing to offer more saying that they have a tight budget.

Which one should I take? Please help me decide.
