BTW, congratulations for your 1K status! How does it feel to be a 1K member?
Well, let's see...

So far, it took much longer for 1KVoice to answer something of the sort that had taken the 2P CSR folk much less time in the past... add to that the fact that the three other members of my family are all booked for more & longer itins than I am at the moment... so no love yet.

My first flight probably won't be until mid-March. I'll let you know how it goes. Meantime, I've got my wife doing her first mileage run this coming weekend. She qualified as 2P last year (thanks to SFO-SYD and DEQM) and wants a go at it again this year, so it's SFO-ORD-BOS-EWR-IAD-NEW ORLEANS-LAX-SJC. I warned her that things could go seriously bad if weather becomes an issue...
