Who: Software engineer, and busy with the dogs when I'm not working
When: Made 1k again early November, my typical pattern
How: Lots of TATL this year, all in B and up. LH offered some really great A fares this year that were cheaper than UA Z, and now I'm ruined for mere mortal flights. A fair amount of TCON/midCON travel. Between CPU, instruments, and very affordable P fares I never had a chance to use my drink chits. 105k PQM
Where: Rome was the interesting new destination this year... otherwise mostly the main *A locations: LHR, CPH, FRA, MUC, ORD, EWR
Why: Status + instruments really help keep the travel budget down and still fly up front. Use the extra bags when flying for trade shows. Saving miles to fly my parents to Europe in F again.
What: I'm already booked to 65k through June, including three legs in LH F (that sale last month was awesome). No problem hitting 1K by early November again. Looking forward to my first trip to India this winter.
