I've been EXP for about 10 years, but work travel has been slowing down the past couple of years requiring personal mileage runs. I'm about to retire the end of the month but I still plan to travel quite a bit in 2018 for pleasure. I cannot travel the rest of the year and even doing a mileage run plus the added expense of paying enough to get the EQD from base fair seemed too difficult. I'm not sure how easy or hard it will be to get complimentary domestic upgrades or high enough on the list to use miles + copay on international flights, but I decided to go for the boost. I figure $1645 was okay as I still was quite a bit out. The mileage I could have easily gotten with a cheap ticket to the West coast or Europe, but trying to meet that dollar amount, plus the addition of a hotel and time away during the holidays when in reality would have been too much.
I am confident that for just one more year, I will travel in comfort.
