For each request, please include the following information. For UA, choose PQF, PQP or BIS (for MM runners).
Departure Airport:
Miles (PQF/PQP/BIS, choose one) Needed:
Maximum Budget:
Available Travel Dates:
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay:
Route(s) You've Already Searched:
For each response. Please quote the original request. DO NOT START A NEW THREAD.
Please post the exact amount of miles needed. You will get fewer options with a roundup number (eg, 5000 instead of 4830; IAD-SFO nonstop will work for the latter.)

Please help need max miles on $1100 budget - united airlines
Hello
Need 30k this year to teach 1M.
can break it into a couple trips but looking to maximize each one. Leaving from EWR and open to anywhere. Flexible dates but hopefully next 6 weeks.
Is there an app or what’s the beady way to plan and look at options.
Thank you

EWR to LAX via IAD gives you good miles at around 100 USD in basic economy to start
Then LAX MIA via EWR if you can, 110 USD each way basic economy also return trip the same way MIA/FLL LAX
You can do the same from LAX MCO via EWR or IAD same deal, cheap around 110 each way.
I have done that off season, like after September till Thanks Giving for less than 3.5 CPM
That will get your miles within budget.

7 trips at less than $800 and you should be good to go. No overnight in PHX unless you want to.

Hello
Limited flying this year, will make it iffy to keep my UA 1K status because I've moved out of the US to Vancouver (YVR). Need to add about 1000 PQP to the plan for the year.
I know that some long hauls on AC would solve this, but truly despise the idea of giving them my money.
Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

Shamelessly stolen from a deal site, but found this on my quest for 3+ pqp/$ fares.
There is a eurowings biz deal (D fare class) leaving from CGN and BER to DWC (dubai), with a minimum two night stay due to the frequency of flights at $650 for 2486 pqp, resulting in 3.8 pqp/$. Most availability in 2025 with some availability in Oct/Nov/Dec.

I noticed the crossed out bag. If I add a bag on Google - the price doubles. But if I go to EW to book, it does appear to include carryon and checked bags at the lower price. Am I missing something?

A quick look shows you can do an Econ same day roundtrip to DCA and hit your PQP number on September 17th.
