Who: Grandmother
When: Made 1K Dec.5 IAD-SFO. 2013 will be my 9th as a 1K
Where: Many transcons, also HNL, FCO, FRA
How: A few milage runs padding my regular travel
Why: Grandkids are near SFO, I am near IAD. Also husband has become spoiled by upgrades and easy access at the airport. He won't do the MR's but doesn't mind funding them. I need 7,200 miles for MM, and husband wants me to do MR's early in Jan so he gets 1K the easy way.
What: I buy cheap fares and out of IAD upgrades are much less frequent now. Definitely questioning whether to go for 1K for 2014.
