You're ahead of me in EQMs right now, although I will be catching up quite a bit in the next couple of weeks. My BIS total, though, is close to 50K this year. My winter travel schedule got screwed up this year, so I have a lot of making up to do to get the SWUs.

My flight leaves at 9pm, so I will probably be on board in my comfy F seat :D

I missed out on the SEA-NRT flight last year because I was in sessions and didn't have access to the internet. I was soooooo bummed out about that one.

When I was doing it, it was 739's so at least you had the D-TV. It just never seems to end though. I was always a zombie by the time I reached SMF, and of course I'd wake-up at 645 EST the next morning and not be able to fall back asleep.

I leave out of IAH at 9pm, arrive SMF at 11pm, and then do an immediate turn and leave out of SMF at 11:59PM!! It's the same aircraft, I believe!

I hope so... my flight is at 5:30. But with the storms they are predicting in CLE/DTW/ORD-land - who knows...

Our paths will hopefully cross soon though!

If you arrive in IAH before, say 8pm, SMS me. My cell # is in PB2.
but, will PM you, too.

Oh. You're running.
That's a different bag of nuts. Never done that, so I can't comment.

Although every time I flew in to SMF I wished I was leaving the second I arrived.

Indeed, though it sure was entertaining to chat with the CO agent trying to book the reward ticket for departure in ~2.5 hours. :D

I think he knew you did not have enough miles and therefore did not even look in the system :D

yipee chi yea, move'm out

Counting booked travel through the end of May I'm at 86,013 EQM, but still have a little way to go to get to $30K spend, as I'm required to book lowest fare for my current project.

Let me guess, does your list include a lot of Marshall Tucker Band? ;):p

No. I realized my incredibly poor planning yesterday and changed my flight.

Sounds good! Barbie jet for me, but at least I got 1A.
