Challenge for the defrocked
Well, the poor wife lost her status this year. Most of my trips were business related. She got here plebe Dividend Miles card today. However, there was one nugget. As a former Preferred, she has been offered the challenge of regaining Silver status if she flies 6,250 miles between Mar. 15 and June 15. On a similar note, she received four NA upgrades for a flight she did in early February - pushing her over the 10,000 mark. Of course she can't use them now....
So, does anybody know of a good way to get to SAN in one shot from WAS which will give her 6,250 miles. We used to do DCA-PHL-LAX-SAN all the time, but can't since LAX-SAN is no longer an Express route.
Is DCA-ORF-PHL-SAN or DCA-HPN-PHL-SAN legal?
