We have another good Delta mileage run for readers in the southeast United States!
This Orlando International (MCO) to Seoul Incheon (ICN) trip nets 22,008 MQM for just over $1300 — but includes a couple of long hauls on an A350’s Premium Select/premium economy!
Not quite as good as an MQD run (get in touch with Juicy Miles’ resident SkyTeam/Delta expert for help with those). But some folks who meet their Delta Amex spend goals simply want MQM runs — and these are perfect for them!
But before we get to the run itself…
Don’t Live in Orlando? Want a Domestic Mileage Run Instead?
We post what we can find — international and domestic — but Juicy Miles creates mileage runs based on your specific wants, needs, and desires.
In fact, they have a Delta expert who will personally handle your request — and craft the most ideal mileage run solution around your parameters. Get in touch with them and see how they can help you.
The Run
I found a few dates available. (This Google Flights link can help your search.) The below trip departs Saturday, February 8.
Leave Orlando at 7:46 PM and connect in Atlanta. (That flight is in C+). Your 15-hour jaunt to Seoul leaves at 12:50 AM late Saturday night, early Sunday morning. Arrive Monday morning at 5:45 AM.
You have about 12 hours until your return flight departs.
Leave Monday night at 7:25 PM and arrive in Minneapolis the same day at 4:17 PM. Then you’re back on Comfort+ (with shots at first class upgrades, if you’re a Medallion) to ATL and then MCO. You arrive back home just past midnight on Tuesday morning.
