Mileage run suggestion
« on: July 07, 2021, 09:54:08 PM »
I want to get the 3rd United pick your poison bonus (350PQP) by flying before July 27. I need (besides the bonus) 400 PQP. Obviously I want to spend as little as possible, and I want this as quick as possible - no overnight stay, not planning on leaving the destination airport. For travel mid next week, leaving from EWR, any suggestions for destination?

For mileage runs, here’s a backdoor URL: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/?showPricePerMile=true

Just do a regular search and it will be there. You can have it sort by CPM, great tool for mileage running.

With this tool, do you just have to keep trying different destinations or is there an easier way?

In the same position, would be nice to get the third flight bonus, also based out of EWR (or LGA, better yet) if you found any low cpm fare, please share.

Just copy and paste Dan's list of 100 US airports. Search one way from EWR and paste the list in the destination field. You also search plus/minus 1 or 2 days. Then click on top on United to filter for United flights

Is there a minimum that the flight has to cost to qualify for the bonus?
