I know this is just outside what I said I would post for 2015 but I am adjusting my numbers. I have had MANY readers tell me that, for weekend runners, they are happy to pay a little more if it can be a weekend only Run. That works. SO, my numbers will be
Sub 4CPM for weekdays coach
Sub 5CPM for weekends coach
Sub 8CPM for weekdays 1st
Sub 9CPM for weekends 1st
I hope everyone can be happy with this compromise for those who can only take a weekend to earn MQMs. I will be SURE to put weekend in the post name so all can see that clearly.
This run is nice an do try to route as far from EWR as you can for max MQMs. I wanted to find via ATL both ways but it is not working. HT to TFD for the find. I would route this way:
Cost $477
11,022 MQMs at 4.3CPM
Bookable on Delta.com
The nice thing about this route is the balance between points and a good nights sleep before you head back home. You don’t have to get up stupid early and get home late Sunday night. Yes you will be a bit sleepy Monday at work but the points are very nice!

With Delta’s new revenue based MQM approach, is this really 11,022 MQMs?! I highly doubt it.
@Jarrett – You may want to read up. MQMs have NOT changed for 2015. Only RDMs!

Can you also post the first/bus class options?
@Wanderingentrepreneur – I will if it was under 9CPM. 🙂

And it looks like the fares have already bumped up above $500 for an overnight…
