95% of my trips are business related, so I can not be too creative here, as this is client billable and they will ask questions.
Have to look into the AUS/SAT options, but that adds a bunch of time roundtrip. I'd prefer to do it out of IAH, which is home port and this has to be CO or Star carriers, not AA.
Looks like I'm going to be about 5-6K short of Plat this year. Taking 3 weeks off for a Europe Vacation, using rewards tickets, cut into my normal travel plans.
Cheers,
