HON is 150K miles per year now? Wow, when I looked at it is was something like 600K miles over 2 years, so even in F it was 100K flown miles per year (or monthly trans-Atlantic in F on LH). I don´t track LH too closely as I only fly them when it is convenient, but LH has really improved in the past couple of years and HON does seem to be a ¨better than Emerald¨ status that is attainable. Even for SEN LH has been very obliging in the past (more than Emerald).
Flying these past 3 weeks has been such a hassle, though, that I´m seriously considering cutting back and just not flying.
