Hi all,

I hope to go to the US in around May next year landing in JFK.

I wanted to visit MIA and LAX spending 3-4 days in each as well as spending 4-5 days in New York.
Trip will be for about 2 weeks so the other left over days can be spent as random overnighters (maybe SJU lol) if required. Wouldn't mind a night or two in ORD.

Was wondering for the highest earning route that would incorporate these cities (or airports near these cities) ?

Max spend $1,500 per person and wanted to get as close to 1,000 SCs as i possibly can.

Look forward to some suggestions.

Thanks.
 
Best I can do so far is HNL-BGI return which is effectively HNL-LAX-MIA-BGI-MIA-LAX-HNL.
US$1492 good for 700SCs with the MIA-BGI-SJU legs in J.

Not quite 1,000SCs and it doesn't really go to any of the cities I want to go - but that's okay. I can just get cheap positioning flights I suppose.

Any better suggestions ?
 
Came up with 880 SCs for $2,645.
Too expensive. Way too expensive.

As much as this forum is to assist with fares, what you are asking is something that thousands of folks are also after.
I'd suggest you do a bit of research yourself as these fares whilst quite possible are generally highly sought after and closely guarded to people in the know.

Thanks for your input.

The first thread I am familiar with and have actually read cover to cover.
The second thread I haven't seen and it is GOLDEN.

Appreciate that.
