2011 EQM/EQS Milestone Roll-Call
Blatantly copying previous years posts: 2010 EQM/EQS Milestone Roll-Call
It's time for this year's EQM/EQS thread.
Milestone Crossed (25K, 50K, 75K, 100K, 150K, etc., or 30, 60, 100, 120 etc. EQS, 1mm Lifetime*, or New UGS Invites in Calendar 2010). I added 75K threshold in this year's roll call due to recently changes in the M+ program to provide added benefits to PE with more than 75K EQMs)
Date on Which Milestone was Crossed
Route on Which It Was Crossed
Previous Status
New Status
Any other info, or backstory for those who newly achieved a level and are proud of themselves or want to thank FT.
Similar request in past years: let's choose either EQM or EQS, not both.
Don't post "I'm close to" or " I have XXX EQM/EQS" - only post when you cross a threshold. Thanks. This is a roll-call thread, not Twitting your travel diary!
*If you're already a MMF, don't post that. This is intended for people who cross the mark in 2010. Use the existing MM thread for MM commentary.
Please, no posts on "I haven't reached" a milestone!!!

K, I'll go first this year :)
25K - Jan 23, ORD-LHR (2P 'til 2013, woohoo!)
50K - Mar 6, BLR-FRA
75K - May 9, IAD-LAX (just in case 75K matters)
50K Full Fare (nominal GS requal?): June 8, FCO-IAD
100K - July 31, SFO-IAD (could have requalified 1K a month ago, but didn't want SWU's to post - no, I don't trust the "vaiid until year end 201 if you call" rumor. But I've had it with Delta, too...)
125K, and 70K full fare miles - Oct. 15th (almost 100k LESS than last year at this time. I'm voting with my wallet re "Changes (you're) going to like", Mr. Smisek. So far, I haven't liked anything I've seen.)

Newbie excitement continues
25K - Jan 29, FRA - IAD
brought me from GM to 2P -- first elite status on any airline ever!
Sincere thanks to all of the FT folks who take the time to share their knowledge; I've already learned a lot. Hoping for the chance to post another milestone later this year!

Hit 25k SFO-JFK 28 Jan
Should have 1P nailed by end of Q1
With the ridiculous amount of personal travel I am doing this year I'll probably requal for 1K by the end of June. Perhaps then I will (*gasp*) start using miles for actual flights instead of only upgrades....

25k - IAD to NRT on 2/06
Last year didn't get 25k (1st time with status) until December 17.
1P (likely before the end of May) and 1K are hopefully in my future this year.

After my February 18th LAX-JFK flight I will have crossed 25k for the year. That puts me on schedule for 1k by the end of June/mid July. It doesnt include my May trip to Europe either. No long haul flights to Narita for me either. Just the old fashioned Transcon Y class BIS (with NC upgrades up course)
