Who: SalesEngineer Risk Management Banking\Colorado outdoor activities
When: UA 1k October 2008; Frontier Ascent 12/16/08; Alaksa Gold Dec 1
How: Segs not miles, but then I hit miles and segs on UA. Early year was off to a fast start, summer slowed way down with the economy, fall leapt ahead then slowed and for some reason December has been crazy! I see reduction in travel next year, but not enough to lose 1K, but maybe enough to bump myself down a notch on Alaska to VIP not Gold.
Where: Business, Mostly US, western US; Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Canada.
Why: Better chance of standby if I'm higher level in airline program; better upgrade opportunity, though with UA change in 2009 - this will not be a happy travel to PAY to use my miles to upgrade!
What: Similar plan but will be interesting to watch the airline mergers to see who wins my rear end sitting in exit row aisle 10D
