Who: Lawnboy - Semiconductor Engineer
When: Made 1P I think on a standard BOS-IAD trip to see the family.
How: Typical years I used to fly many business trips to Asia which kept me a 1K. Not much business travel this year. But got many miles in February on the CMB-JFK C fare, plus BOS-SIN and PEK-BOS upgraded fares on a crazy almost RTW work/vacation trek. No DEQM, No Chase EQM, will end the year at ~75k EQM, not close enough for me to make a 1K MR worthwhile.
Where: BOS, IAD, SFO, NRT, SIN, CMB, DPS, MEL, AKL, BKK, FCO, PEK, LAS, LAX, YYZ, PHL, MYR, EZE, GIG, GRU, MIA, CLT, PVD, MGW, PIT
Why: I love traveling and seeing new places. After sitting in C/F the first time I never wanted to go back. So I've worked the system as much as possible to get me up front. Plus educated many, many co-workers, who now travel more than me, how to do the same.
