This is where I fit in. Coming out of college, I was excited to sit in the back trans-atlantic. It was the destination for me.
BUT now that my job requires me to get on a plane
every week and stay at hotels in a different time zone... it's
how I get to that destination that makes me happy. I like it when my life is made just a little bit easier when i am on the road and status with the hotel and airline allows this to happen. Like kokonutz, I feel that status does matter more than the points.
In a short time, I have learned that "it's the journey, not the endpoint that matters."
