just fly what u need, and if u want to move to CO. do a status match.

a few reasons to fly:
1) triple rdm (rdm + elite bonus + amex bonus).
2) rollover.

if u are close to 75k, then reaching PL would give another 20K rdm.

i have 54k eqm now, and have booked trips with 73eqm. i will probably reach PL since it is cheaper to fly this year than next (because of amex bonus), and i can roll over extra for next year eqm.

so. if u find a good deal or have to fly, fly dl/nw. if not, i would just not bother.
