Just because a MR doesn't begin/end at PHX doesn't mean you can't take advantage
Along with super cheap/mega mileage runs, I'll also do, "mini vacations," last year to ICN and early this year to SIN, staying 3 nights in each on pretty decent fares (about $800 each).
I took advantage of cheap PHL-BCN biz fares, and married it up with PHX-PHL using my credit card companion cert.
Possibilities are endless.
I prefer flying nonstop whenever I can for biz, and as few stops when traveling with my other half. I grew up in PA, and US has always had the best coverage there of any airline, hands down.
Actually most of my flying is MR-mini-vacations.
I just spent 3 days in Tokyo last week on a nice $600 fare.
I ended last year with 280k MQMs and will end this year with about 290K MQMs with Delta--all leisure flying.
I have a lot of free time...haha. ^^
Just thinking that I have enough MQMs with DL that I could take an entire year off from them and still maintain my DM status as they do offer rollover MQMs. ^
Again...just alll thought right now...but if AA keeps their FF program like DL's USED to be until this year.....I think I'm gonna fly AA next year....probably end the year with at least 150k EQMs based on my regular world-travel (okay...Mini-vacation MRs
)
