This is crazy. I want to earn my first-ever Elite status as quickly as possible after 1/1/04. I booked a flight on Alaska roundtrip LAX-PVR (2440mi). Then I am taking TWO trips to London. The first segment is LAX-IAH-LGW (1379+4853mi) because I want to upgrade to BF and upgrades are no longer available on Virgin codeshare flights. The return is LHR-LAX (5442mi). On my second trip to London, I take Virgin codeshare roundtrip LAX-LHR (10,884mi). That gives me a grand total of 24,998 miles. Do you think Continental will go ahead and give me Silver Elite status if I call the OnePass center after completion of these trips?</font>
LAX-PVR: 1218 miles (2436 miles r/t)
LAX-IAH-LGW: 1379+4853 (6232 miles)
LHR-LAX: 5456 miles (10,912 miles r/t)
Your final tally will be 25,036 miles.
You won't have to call OnePass Center. Congrats on your upcoming Silver....
