it is a strange feeling. these 1.5mos are the longest ive gone without being on a plane in 20 years.

for a good ten years i did chase status (on AA) back when it was easy and straightforward to do mileage runs.

then i moved to London, and BA and the combination of longhaul work, family obligations in the US and personal holidays made it very easy to obtain/retain GGL in my first 5 years in the UK.

the last two years i didnt aim for GGL, it just happened because i have 2-3 longhaul biz trips per year but all personal travel, i buy J or F anyhow...but being GGL has been amazing to have thanks to IRROPS or for the dedicated phone and other perks.

now imagining those work trips will be eliminated, im not sure if i will chase GGL as i will continue to pay for J or F...but right now if all was safe to travel again, i know i'd chase it! i love the feeling of flying and everything that comes with it.

but ask me again in 6mons.
