I'm on the same page. I'll make Diamond this year. But, it doesn't really make me happy. It's exhausting.
This past month :
AMS-CDG-MIA-ATL-MHT-X-BOS-AMS
AMS-ATL-MHT-X-BOS-AMS
AMS-OTP-AMS
AMS-BOS-X-MHT-DTW-SCE-DTW-AMS
AMS-DTW-BTV-X-BOS-AMS
one more trip this month (yay!)
AMS-JFK-X-BOS-AMS (AMS-JFK is on a recently modified KLM 747!)
Thankfully, only
one transatlantic segment in economy (EC) AMS-ATL. All domestic segments in first class (where available based on aircraft).
I have no idea about my spend, because delta.com does not show my MQDs. But, I'm sure it's decent.
Only one more year of this (2015); and then, I can (more or less); take it easy with the trips back to The States.
