...Hey I finally made AP*E this year after two years of AP*P. I suffered doing every milk run to gain what I have and made it happen. This year I qualified with both miles and segments, so for the next two months no more milk runs, direct flights it is as I wont hit AP*SE. You have two months to take a fun trip to YYZ or YUL or where ever.
If I do end up moving to Southern Ontario (leaving the West to move to the centre of the universe ohhhhhh) I plan on capitalizing on those sweet deals out of YYZ and Buffalo! So I say if you want that sweet life of Elite (providing you will fly) then for three segments just fly somewhere anywhere, any qualifying airlines!
