OK, so I've bitten of on this whole MR thing and am sitting in the FRA AC waiting for my first flight, AA71 to DFW.

When checking in the agent asked what my final destination is and I answered BOS.

His eyes grew large when he looked at the screen and he said "FRA-DFW-LAS-LAX-BOS, that's a little out of the way!" Looking him in the eye I replied "I need the miles." I wonder what he would have said if I told him that I will be turning around when I arrive in BOS and doing a RT transcon tommorrow.

Anyway, I have my noise canceling headphones, ipod, netbook, some clean clothes, passport and 2 credit cards, quadband cell phone. I'm ready!

What else could I need except on time flights, especially on my last leg when I have 40 minutes in ORD to make my homebound flight to FRA.
But, there is a flight to LHR with tons of empty seats leaving later that evening, so who cares...

Will ExPLT be worth it? I will hit 100K EQMs in July doing a TATL back to the States,and have at least two more TATLs on the books for later this year. Only time will tell.

Wish me luck!
