My team has completely blown through 25,000 but we're still waiting for one more flight to post - the next flight that credits (system updates are so slow) will finally put us over the recorded threshold ...

I do fly skyteam usa for free, but right now they can't sell out a plane to save their lives. I am still SE on them for like $100.00, so I can't really complain.

Though I think the boys in PHX are about to lend a helping hand to get me to EWR. Will know more in 30min. I may just burn some useless QF miles.

No status and no F but WN has decent transcon Ding fares into PHL from time-to-time.

How does one check team progress? Or are you just going based on what you know you've flown? I want to make sure my miles posted to the team so my 25K happen at the end. :D

Time for some LAX In-n-Out brunch before heading inland for the rest of the day!

Yes, Yes, but the goal is that I do not spend money.

If you log into the website, there's a counter. One of my team members is already credited the maximum 12,500 toward our limit - the other three of us are having horrendously slow flight posting. Mine hasn't been updated for my last two flights and the other two team members - both high volume diamonds - are all holding at about 4,000 flight miles credited each.

Both of my flights today are at 1 (first is 1 Y, second is 1 F and I'm first on the upgrade list after the SDC). May well take a VDB if the opportunity presents itself.

We'll see if the smiling Eskimo feels up to donating as well later today.

SkyTeam USA isn't willing to sell seats on either of my currently-scheduled flights, the one in an hour or the one in 3.5 hours.

I do have things I need to do at home and also have to admit I can't spend too much more time in the terminal at OMA without devolving into madness.

Astros are no longer the worst team in the division and have won 4 of their last 5 games.

Hers's to being better than the Reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
