- Flying 75% less for business than pre-9/01.
- Driving a few segments I used to fly: namely 4-8 hour drives like MCI-STL, MCI-MSP, and WAS-NYC.
- Actually taking *more* weekend leisure trips to the West Coast, Florida, and other domestic destinations, thanks to low fares and passenger loads that the airlines can more reliably deliver to the end destination on time.
- Taking roughly the same amount of int'l and Hawaii leisure trips - using miles to do so whenever possible. (Accruing on cheap domestic weekend trips, using for premium cabin overseas trips.)
- Will lose all elite statuses in 2004 except Lifetime AAdvantage Gold and some hotel/car statuses, and that doesn't really bother me.
