More miles, love it! ^
How is the weather in August in DEL (trying to determine if stay a few days or not)

I will focus more on just miles and relaxed on my MUST DO list as stated earlier. Excellent idea re MEL. I will do that to save a segment. Thanks.
Having read all the suggestions thus far on this young thread, I am going to modify my goals and focus on miles.

I do like the LHR-MCT itin, but seems like only BA flies non-stop. Please see below:

Not certain what my staus would be for next year, I have to be concerned about picking flights that offers less 100% mileage credit to my AA acct. Where can I find a chart (or info) that credits vs airlines program vs status?
