A huge portion of my flights this year have been with my husband who hates flying and will usually only travel if we can get a non-stop.
I'll plan on booking an extra flight sometime before EOY to make sure I qualify.

By trip planning, I mean that my FAT-PDX trip I took last month was booked as FAT-SAN-SEA-PDX instead of FAT-PDX non-stop (for about the same price I might add). The elite level I'm trying to qualify for determines the flights I take in 2014, not the other way around so I will never end up short on miles.
