AA Status Run - Nice little earner (reborn)

[Gold Member]

An old favourite but with 'First Special' pricing rather than Instatnt Upgrade until mid October it seems. Prices starting from $276 (up to $349 on various dates) for 120 SCs at $2.30 per SC. Round trip in a day very doable. For those unfamiliar with some of the old favourites which we often reminisce, two clues: 1) Gymkhana 5, 2) Danny Ocean (thought I'd add some variety to the clues this time ) Enjoy!

Presumably this matches Delta's sale on the underlying primary route which is also priced neatly but doesn't earn more SC per $.

Ah, yes there something like that for around $240 several years ago.

For the 120 I guess Danny needs to visit Rusty Ryan on the way.

As serfty said, was $240. Nice to see it back though. I used this one to get WP for the first time ever many years ago

Nice indeed. Trying to see if I can work that into my October itinerary.

...$2.30 per SC. ...... old favourites .....) Enjoy!....

Not sure I get this. Is it some special nostalgic trip? $2.30 per SC does not seem that flash considering the various <$1.50 per SC options. What am i missing here??

This is just a convenient status run if you need to top up/off for 120 or 240. The return trip can easily be done within a day so for those that are time poor, its a more viable option than a multi-city run with several segments over several days.
