I'm parked at 66K and temporarily grounded due to a torn achilles tendon. Hard to navigate airports, let alone think about touring, with a cast and crutches. Have cancelled three trips into mid-October and will likely cancel another last week of October that would have been my requalifying flight (MCO). Should have a better idea of ability to travel in the weeks ahead.

49k with about 3.5k booked to go. This is an all time high on Alaska (though this year I probably have 30k on other carriers this year.) Too much soccer coaching to fly more this year.... Time to plan 2020.

Hey everyone, FT newbie here! Actual miles flown without counting MVPG75k bonus or F booking bonus is 94,320. I guess that’s a little off since it rounds up my trips from SMF to SAN to 500 each way. Pretty consistent SMF-SEA and SMF-SAN round trip every week for work. All booked F on AS business card so EQM and actual miles in account are much higher. Should join the million mile club next year. Not sure if that’s impressive or sad given that I’m still in my 30’s.

BIS on AS metal so far this year is ~95k.
I was thinking about starting another thread but figure this place is fine to ask, is there any reason to fly AS past MVPG75K besides bonus miles?

Progress towards your million miler status? Note, that’s only works if flying Alaska metal; not partners

Excellent upgrade potential, even on award flights. I missed two upgrades this year, one was a SDC to an earlier flight from a upgraded later flight that was cheaper at booking. Now, having said that, using free SDC can be a great benefit by purchasing the cheapest flight and doing a SDC or even a Standby to the flight you really want.
