I should focus more on finding good deals individually and makes fewer trips? Perhaps pay the daily fee to access the nice quiet lounges when I actually travel? I always enjoyed those lounges for some reason!

Doesn't seem quite as much fun, LOL, but.... might be more likely to actually reach the goal of a bit more luxury (relaxing) travel when I do do it?
Mileage runs are for people who are close to obtaining a certain level with an airline. If you join a FF program, then get the CC for that airline. You will earn miles on every day spending and thus "free" flights.
