Preemptive question regarding my "future" Platinum Status and winter weather...
I currently am sitting at 94 segments (I know I posted in another thread I was at 96, apparently I can't differentiate between a 4 and a 6...anyways...) I now have a scheduled 4 segment work trip for early December, leaving me at 98 segments.
Mrs. Lsugolfer and I have decided to make a trip to see some friends in the Northeast (PHL or ABE) during the holidays. Looks like we will be leaving from BTR sometime around December 29th, returning after the New Year. Thus, I will hit 100 segments on the nose 3 days before the end of 2011.
I've rarely traveled via air during the holidays, but it seems like every year some snowstorm leaves 5 billion people trapped between WAS-PHL-NYC-BOS.
Knowing that FT can't predict the weather, would I be SOL of Platinum if I couldn't get to PHL before 11:59pm on 12/31?? Should I go ahead and SDC to make my 4 segment trip in early December a 6 segment trip if allowed?
Previous experiences or insight would be appreciated.
