Thanks! This is true about easing her into weird travel patterns. But, HNL puts me within a sniff (~4K) of Silver. She was complaining on this trip that she misses being in F. I could potentially leverage her want of F into an excuse to fly for status. Before the jokes fly about Silver meaning nothing, just remember: she doesn't know that. :D

This is a no-go if the vendor insists on booking air thru them. The thing we have to go to is Thursday, so we'll find out then. Via BBM she just approved the appointment we have to go to.

I got bumped off of my MOB flight. I turned the voucher into JFK-IAD, and ATL-AUS (for the BBB DO).

so my last UA mileage run looks like this: CLT-JFK-IAD-LAX-IAD-JFK-IAD-DEN-LAX-SFO-ORD-IAD-JFK-CLT. Too much???

I need to finally get my company up and running so I can take advantage of some of these deals!

For those who might be interested, I have started my own company that is involved in a couple ventures. Beyond the travel web sites I am going to publish, I have a legal technology venture that is kicking off:

www.globaledd.com

I am polishing off some details, but hope to announce it to the industry in the next week or so.

Is that in Coach?

Are we competing with J Edward????

Just like the Van Wyck, nobody beats the J.Edward.

Silver does mean a ton. As I explained to my wife, who was on the fence about a mileage run to retain silver, it is awesome to board first (especially on international flights), not have bag fees, and sometimes have the shorter security lines. One Saturday morning we cut past an unbelievably long line to check bags and she was sold.

Just go easy my friend. Baby steps.

And finding $275 tickets to HNL or FCO....

:D

Nice! PM me once you get in... We'll have us an EZE mini-DO!

SXM.

Congrats!

Brother definitely has game. I though his ANC escapades were impressive, but this week's trips are over the top.

Both me and me buttocks give him ^^ as there is no way in heck I could do it in Y.

MBM3, do you need a travel writer?

Ok, nevermind. My flight to IAH is now delayed to the point that I'll have <1hr to get to my next gate, so won't have time to stop by the club. Either that, or I'll be going through ATL. Props to CO, btw for automatically protecting me on that..

More is more!

Glad the bump worked

I haven't gotten around to explaining the real bennies to her just yet, but those are all great points.

Thanks. I thought of that for planespotting geekiness...but I have to sell her on the destination as well. Are the beaches other than Maho worth the trip?

Actually, yes I do need travel writers and was going to enlist the Box for anyone who might be interested in submitting articles and/or keep a blog. While still in the alpha stages, it will be an eMagazine called Global 7 Travel. I plan on pushing through the design this week and have a beta available next week for those who might be interested in contributing.
