Just a thought that 1K will have slightly more exclusivity next year with the increased PQD requirement, and since I am in no proximity of getting a GS requal next year... I'm not totally disappointed to go back to 1K.
I'll come in at $46K UAL metal and $59K total for 016 stock this year. DEN based. All domestic tickets (50% of total $) have been D/C/Z and the very occasional P. All International has been Z fare. I've been 1K for 12 years and the last five years has all been domestic D/C/Z/P fares usually reaching $32-35K. It sound like my $46K may not be enough to get me there.
