So having finally looked at all the badges, I can't believe how much focus they've shifted out of the domestic market.
Last time, I excluded US airports in my run because of the annoyance of immigration, but I don't know if I can do that this time.
I'm generating a short (96 hour) itinerary right now to get some initial feelings.
No.

Well we doubled the cowgorithm speed again. It's 4-5x faster than 3 days ago.
I have a couple itineraries plotted out now.
This year is going to be very boring.

Last year Position 58 was 26k wings, (that's $500)
Anyone knows how many wings position 80 had? This is the minimum for $250 (worth to play IMO)
I could rebook some already booked flights just to earn wings. But not worth it if I don't have chances to have enough for $250.

Another question, it says economy flex is eligible but V fare is not.
I thought V was Flex?
Edit: from reading my own post, looks like you can be in V with basic, standard and Flex. How the heck you know if you are eligible when looking at your eTicket?
I thought V was Flex?
To qualify for the Promotion, the flight segments must be travelled in the following eligible fare options: Economy Flex, Comfort, Economy Latitude, Premium Economy lowest and Premium Economy flexible, Premium Rouge, Business Class lowest and Business Class flexible.

Bear in mind Uber would be ~60 USD per day to do that as well, so it isn't even necessarily cost effective.
Definitely not.

Ugh. There was a schedule change for a flight I wanted between when I downloaded the schedule and now. Put it under MCT by 4 minutes.
I hope they didn't adjust EVERYTHING.
Edit: Too much changed. I have to fetch the schedule again

Cow - is it the experience? The pure love of boarding small aircraft multiple times daily? The competitive juices? I mean really...why the hell do you people go through this?
