Timing of flight vs. status
A question for the experts that I’ve never encountered before:
My wife will need the LP from her final flight to requalify for EXP. The flight’s second leg departs just before midnight on 2/29 and arrives on 3/1. Of course the timing of the LP posting will be after 2/29 but will it count towards 2024 status because she departed before the cutoff?
Thanks so much for the expertise of the group, as always.

If you haven't already, I recommend double checking exactly how many LPs she'll earn if she's that close to 200K. I wouldn't assume without verifying that this final 2/29 flight will get her over 200K only to find out she might be a few short, a problem easily avoided with a simple AAdvantage eShopping or Dining purchase.
