Oh the muggles. Not on AS, but my father didn't understand the whole MR thing either. Until I convinced him to go on a segment/points run to complete an AA PLT challenge.
He commented that the SNA-SJC-(lunch with friends)-LAX-SFO-SNA run we did wasn't half bad.
Then we all upgraded to C LAX-NRT.
Then we got op-upped to F NRT-LAX because we were a family of elites (mom was GLD at the time).
Now he didn't even question it when I say I'm flying SEA-LAX by way of ANC-PDX-SEA
