I am a current exp on AA, and I believe that these trips should exceed 100,000. It is my wish to do as much long distance flying in first as possible. That is part of the quandry. Sadly I won't have any spare time to go anywhere other than indicated. Maximizing miles is not too much of a big deal, as I said I think I will requalify for exp on AA. I am currently on a basic DONE3, and all of my long flights have first class. Part of the appeal in booking in first.
