Hi:
I'm new to this board, though I've been an elite flyer for about 4 years now (Platinum on NW, Gold (soon to be silver) on DAL). I desperately want to keep my platinum on NW for next year, so I'm looking at mileage runs. Despite my travel experience, I'm not good at this other than thinking I should book a really long trip. I'm starting to understand how true mileage runs work and am VERY interested in learning more. Would this be of benefit, and something I could attend? It's not a problem getting to DC for those dates (though I'm going to be there twice again later in Sept).
