But if you are just hitting silver with DL it's quite a bit more flying and $ to hit 1K with UA.
Yeah, no, I'm not in an industry where it's likely I'll be flying much in the future. This year, I just managed to squeak into silver after a dozen or so flights for interviews. 1K status is just not in the cards.

I will look into seeing if there's anything I can do to use silver UA status to save some money on these honeymoon tickets. Thanks for the help.
