My special thanks to our fine STL group of FTers, including aviationkiwi, Skye1 and tfjim, and also Tim the bartender at the STL AC. I am looking forward to learning to play with EXPs and visiting the FL for the first time in the coming year.
If ANYONE is ever looking for Mileage Run company, Sonora rocks. And, we seriously need to pursue the "perks" of having an AAdmirals Club Bartender in our ranks!
Just finished qualifying for the 125K EXP + 2 extra eVIPs thing. HUGE thanks to FT for all the tips, hints, etc. along the way!

We made it........"TOO"
Greetings:
Had to put my two cents in............My wife and I made it this past weekend on a SYD-BKK-LHR Flight (Longgggg) It took us 34 flights in all......thanks to FT the flights, for the most part ,went well as did the many, many suggestions we picked up from FT.
I am about to put the finishing touchs on our effort to keep Ex Plat in 2008, being in our mid 70's having FT to check for clubs that are open, seats that are soft (Flat?), airport short cuts and so on is a God send.

Wow...AA's' moving on this. Already got the new cards & luggage tags.
OK...time to start planning how to earn it again
Methinks there's a holiday weekend or two coming up in January or Febuary that is begging for a good long-haul...

A little late booking?
I already have two $337 base fares into London and home from Zurich for Jan and Feb. One of those will be in conjunction with the London Do that SkiAdcock hosts on President's Weekend. Maybe you can come over for that (though the $250 in taxes/upgrades will be a killer..I only paid $96 because I return home from ZRH).

I would have booked a long time ago if I had the cash in hand to do so
I'm looking into the more intriguing Morocco & Spain options being toyed around with on the MR forum.

If it's convenient for you, I'd suggest looking into switching to one of the SkyTeam members--particularly Continental. With 50k a year, you'd earn Gold on Continental, which, IMO, trumps Platinum on AA.

Cotinental Gold is better, unless you want to use your elite status to actually get upgraded and fly in first class - but Continental does offer elites a spiffy blue carpet to board upon in lieu of upgrades.
How to check e-VIP balance?
