Are the benefits of GM status worth it? I'm going to be taking a trip with my girlfriend to Europe and think that having GM might be useful if just for that alone.
Thanks!!
In my opinion, one of the biggest jumps in the benefits ladder is between Silver and Gold, so I say go for it.
(FYI, the traditional abbreviation for Silver Medallion is FO, rather than SM as SM could be mistaken for SkyMiles. FO is an old school abbreviation for Flies Often.)
