Is anyone able to do better than 3 Globetrotter badges per day? That seems to be my limit right now, and is the main reason I can't get this count higher.
What? 77k wings, and how many other miles are you to get out of this? Total what; maybe 120k? For 5000k?? You can buy a Z ticket for that price; (when you consider where you can go for the miles, and extra fees attached to that free redemption... and 9 days of flying; your gone in the head...
In EYW1 I flew 2.5 days; earned around 120k miles for around 1300$ including the over night hotel and food/shuttles costs... Good deal (albeit crazy non the less...)
Maybe you should invest your 5k into a good TPAC J product and enjoy a vacation instead of doing up and downs between YEG-YXE-YWG in DH3/DH4/CRJ's...
