Aren't you Kind of stuck in ANC where to get that kind of miles you need to go someplace like SEA to go anywhere, and in just going to SEA and back you almost get the 3,000. Heck if you go ANC to PDX R/T you are just over 3000 and don't need to go anywhere else. Thanks for the advice on Korean Air but I don't think any if those counted towards your elite status anyway - right ? Or am I wrong on that?
