Im 1,112 miles short of gold and have about another month to get the remaining miles (october 22, 2013 is when my 1,000 bonus posted). Can anyone suggest the cheapest way I can get the remaining miles flying out of nyc airports? Im willing to fly anytime but would prefer to fly back and forth on a sunday if possible and whenever I fly, I'd prefer if I don't have to take off more than a day of work.
