Always Flex or higher, in the booking window. I see them posted on my Altitude account but I don't know when it was posted as I did not bother checking till today. I'll give it a few more days. What about the hotel stuff? How long do those take?

Based on what I remember of airport layouts, I can picture problems in Fredericton, Goose Bay, or Deer Lake. On the upside, if they know you're catching a flight, people in those places will probably get you through security in about 2 minutes.

What does drinking have to do with EYW?

Also, there's no such thing as SE 200k.

200K is an unpublished benefit...LOL..I use it to separate myself from those SE's that just earn 100K as I am better than them. Overall I am better and stronger, everything about me is better.
Lookin at the leaderboard, I should be at 9100 this week although there is lots of flying left for people so it may not put me in second place but hopefully better than the top 50.

Drinking has a lot to do with EYW, you get wings for your on board purchases. Even when I'm in J, I insist on purchasing wine from the Y cabin to get more wings.

Until and unless you're an SE 3MM, you're a nobody.
