Ok, we all know that triple points is coming up, and I want to add in a big mileage run to supplement my short runs in the NEC area, home base is PHL. What I am trying to figure out is, what is the shortest turn on the NEC, for the best value of the money, on Acela, or just straight up the best value. I know I could just do WAS-NYP 3 turns a day, but sometimes those runs are more expensive than PHL-BOS, or even NYP-BOS.
Also, if I had an upgrade coupon, I know I could convert to 750 x 3 per run, but alas I do not have any right now. (if anyone has some they would like to part with, please contact me).
I am thinking of a doing a minimum segment run on the keystone, then end in NYP, NYP-BOS, then BOS-PHL to get two segments in, on one day. I wish I could do PHL-NYP for a qualifying run, but thats no dice.
So, the question is, are there strange city pairs that you can do a good run in between, speed up the turn times, get the best value, etc.
Anyone else planning something this crazy for next week? I would love to hear other people's thoughts and plans.
