Well one thing about those UX runs within California is they can get expensive. Might be better off to look for other opportunities (fare sales to Asia, Cheap fares to Florida, etc.)
I hit 2P this year and next year am going for 1P or 1K. 1P shouldn't be too hard, but 1K would be a feat since it can be hard to plan travel in between classes.
Another thing I'm gonna do is start early. Most of my status miles this year were done in a span of 4 weeks. Outside of that I had 2 trips to ORD.
As of now, looks like I have trips to MCO and MSY in January. Might try and take a trip to SIN, NRT, or HKG in January when I'm off. In March I'm looking at a trip to MLA.
