Thanks to all of FT posters, I completed a small MR at the beginning of December which got me to Plat on DL as of earlier this week.

I saw that I needed about 3K MQM to hit Plat, so I booked an ATL-SJU RT non-stop each way on Sat 12-06. I checked the seating ahead of time and upgrade probability looked good each way - and they came through fine. Everything went well on the trip - no problems, smooth flights, on-time/early arrivals, etc.

The one thing that I didn't think of was getting my return flight boarding pass. I checked in at ATL for the ATL-SJU flight and mid-way though the flight, I thought about getting the return boarding pass. I thought that I'd have to exit to the ticketing counters and re-check, go through security again, etc. Within only a 1-hour turn between landing and departure, I figured that wouldn't be smart. So I went to the gate and the GA gave me my boarding pass (same gate, plane and crew each way).

What's the normal MR way to get your boarding passes for all of your legs?
