Good trial run for a quick biz trip to London, SFO-LHR through JFK, coming back through DFW on BA's 747 flight. Will easily have 30k points by end of aug, so will bank AA SWUs, and can make UA 1K with a late November trip if AA is not totally satisfactory. Trying to keep an exploratory mindset to the whole thing, but shifting a quarter's worth of spend to AA with two INTL trips and a couple of short internal ones. Total likely to be in the 5 to 6 K spend overall to AA.
