Jaws43, you know you have become a true "seasoned" traveler when you forfiet a First Class seat just to get home an hour earlier!. Believe me, I can relate! As for me, I just got back from a trip from Los Angeles to Tampa that boosted me over the 100,000 mile mark on United! After being a Premier Executive for at least 8 years I am now a 1K! I know it sounds stupid but I can't help thinking that I'm going to miss being a lowly PE after being one for so many years.
