Mileage run

mile·age run

noun

1. Also known as MR, a mileage run is a flight taken for the sole purpose of earning either redeemable or elite qualifying miles. With the proliferation of revenue-based mileage accrual programs, viable mileage runs for redeemable miles are rare, while they can still be found for elite qualifying miles.
