Million Miler ... sort of

And if flying on Emirates you can have a stopover in Dubai.

I'm in the low 400Ks in lifetime status. I've probably redeemed 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 or so MP miles. My account is at a historically "uncomfortably high" 450K miles, but I expect that balance to shrink by 180K within the upcoming days.

I think my actual Million Miler status is at something like 200K.

If BA F is really all that and a bag of chips, perhaps the fuel surcharge is a necessary evil someday?

I'm hoping the fuel surcharge drops sometime soon...

I've recently been toying with taking CX to JNB. I'm about 400k lifetime miles and close to 1M RDMs.

A friend of mine just went to JNB and said it was an amazing place.
