OK, so maybe Rudi is the first to
really start the journey to the PiP, but my interim PiP trip KIND OF counts...
Anyway, after a nasty encounter with a CS rep at the Premier check-in at IAD (I can't WAIT to be 1k) over my change in itinerary, I had a pleasant upgraded A319 flight IAD-LAX, where I dropped my package for the pre-PiP partiers at the LAX 1k lounge...hope its there for you, Premex. LAX-TUS on shiittle by united was typical shiittle.
Only 3 days 'til the PiP for me
