Mileage Run!Not sitting at the front of the Airbus? Then maybe you need to pack a light bag, book a tight itinerary and rack up those miles. Here's a nice tool for finding efficient flights. Otherwise the terrorists have already won.. ha!.

I swear, I went to London because I'd never been before. The fact that it let me make Platinum in AA's Frequent Flyer Program (middle tier) and, with that and the double mile promotion, and booking on line, and having upgraded to business class, earned me almost 27,000 miles (a free round trip ticket in the continental US is 25K) had nothing to do with it.

(And I check Flyertalk every day. Lamer, thy name is me!)

How I didn't know this existed! Alas, with work and family, I've not done any Mileage Runs since 1998, but I still manage things to keep at least FF program elite. Hate those lines!
