WWTBD (What Would The Box Do?)

After a frenzy of booked flights this week I've got just over 73K EQMs booked through July including one of the SEA-NRT B fares and another B fare trip to LIM. There may be a smattering more here and there but no huge chunks. After I requalify for plat I was thinking of just enjoying my platinum benefits and putting further EQMs towards million miler status (lifetime silver for a companion is looking pretty darn good right now).

Or should I start looking towards another carrier? Maybe even venture onto the dreaded DL in anticipation of the Skyteam split? I'm based out of BOS so AA and DL have the most flights out of the hub. I don't really see a point in requalifying for UA until it's more clear how the CO/UA relationship shapes up (i.e. will UA status get my E+ access where CO status will not).

So, my 14 weeks of calling have paid off! ^^ I certainly hope that this doesn't happen again...

We come back 17-NOV with about a 3.75 hour connection in IAH back to SEA. The S/O has to work the next morning, so I may just purchase a B-up for the S/O and I will take my chances on an EUA with an el-cheapo ticket from SEA-EWR

Is it safe to call CO and put in for an upgrade yet?

Wow - that turned out to be a miracle in disguise! One of the records was switched to a flight departing JFK a day earlier - the day on which I've been waiting 12 weeks for 2 seats. The CO agent was able to call KE and get us a second seat on the same flight (because KE apparently was the one who screwed up our records)! So, my 14 weeks of calling have paid off! ^^ I certainly hope that this doesn't happen again...

If you are going to try DL for future travel , I would try to get a match on them , that way when you start flying you will have some elite status.

CO doesn't know the answer to some of these right now. How close are you to MM? I also echo the status match if you are going to fly enough to re-qualify on another airline (and I would probably choose a SkyTeam airline or AA).

Hmm.. I could status match. It's once a lifetime though, right?

Sadly I've only got 211K EQMs and if I just requalify for plat this year I won't even hit 300K.

What's more beneficial though, bottom tier DL or AA?

The latter option.

THANK YOU Uncle Sam. Just got my return back from my accountant and I know who is paying for my trip to NRT!

I hope you people can sleep at night, you have turned me into a MR Mile Whore. I feel dirty! :cool:
