Agreed I booked this flight mostly to have a comfortable MQD margin early in the year, so that any future runs later would just need to be on cheap MQM segments. I'm hoping my job will carry me through to at least requalify for Platinum in 2020, as I did late last year for 2019, flying mostly short distance domestic about half the year for work.

But really want to gun for Diamond in 2020 if meant 1-2 more mileage runs. I'll have the rest of the year to plan it out.

Im taking an extra day off work to make sure I can readjust when I get back. I definitely won't want to do this often. Plunging into the deep end for my first run
