You know, landspeed, that never even occurred to me.

i only have status on CO, and that relationship is winding down, so this would be a handy way to get my paws on AA Gold. yay! thanks!

and yes, i mean Immigration. i tend to get the two confused, and i haven't dealt with them in almost three years, so i shallso hope for the best. all this wonderful advice! and i've got an AA flight next week (my school is sending me to a conference. rah!) and i should register now. thanks again!
