Thread: Mileage Runs!!

I did a bit of searching and didn't find any threads on mileage runs.

For anyone who doesn't know (I am sure everyone does!) mileage runs are flights that are simply used to inflate your airline mile balance and help you to your target status level. It could be as crazy as an 8 segment round trip in three days or one round trip to Russia and back.


I know there must be people interested on this forum, and I wanted to create a place for people to share any flight deals they find or mileage run stories!

Safe travels!

Flyertalk may be your best bet for this. You probably already frequent their forums, but I find great information over there.

Never even heard of this... any more info?

Flyertalk.com is a great resource!

Essentially, a mileage run is a flight taken for the miles gained. They are generally "graded" by cost per mile (CPM), with obviously the lower the CPM the better.

Check out the flyertalk.com forum section. They have a ton of good info.

I might not be allowed to put outside links in my post, so if I am not, Mods please let me know and I'll fix it

Flyertalk.com! never used it before but it really seems useful.
