My guess would be 45-50 range, but we won't know until the invites go out Late December/January.

Personally I'm just hoping for new baggage tags (!) as I'm tired of seeing "2020 - Denver" hanging off my bag. Just bizarre that they did that for GS's (rotating cities on GS baggage tags, regardless of where you are actually based) - hopefully it's a standard 2023 GS bag tag with no city designator. But I'm probably dreaming about getting anything!
