Isn't that 300K flown per 2 years?

The Sunglasses of Justice always prevail!:cool:

You're likely thinking of HON. Once you are a SEN (*G), you only have to fly 100K within the two year period to requalify. All 100K must be flown within a single calendar year to qualify, though. So, you could fly 0mi. in year 1, then 100K in year 2, and requal that way.

Keep in mind that LH offers 300% EQM/RDM Bonus on UA/US (and soon, probably CO) Domestic F fares. Assuming you find the right fare, you would only need 33,333 BIS in F in one year to hit 100K. Historically, I have seen good-deal Q-UPs that would allow this for approximately $2,200 a/i with four weekends over the year dedicated to earning the necessary miles. Averaged over the two-year period, that's $1,100/year for SEN on LH.

It's been a few years since I went to YVR but I am itching to go back. AUS is an annual ritual and sometimes happens more than once a year.

SAN, I had been away for so long the last few months that when I got there for the day last week I had to remind myself I need to go back more often.

The westbounds are killers. Going east isn't so bad. For some reason, that one hour difference is the make it/break it for me.

Man, you're making me feel old and i'm only 35.

I can't tell you how excited I am for this upcoming Red-Eye Midcon. :rolleyes:

Seriously, why can't CO schedule an SFO-IAH between 02:15pm and 12:35am? Something leaving around 04:00pm would still get into IAH by 10:00pm.

Nice - $1,100/year averaged out is quite doable to hold nearly top-tier/*G. That's a price that I can sell to the other half...once we both have jobs that actually pay us what we're worth. :rolleyes:

Put me down as mildly jealous. I would be real jealous if I didnt just walk in the door back home after 20,000 in 6 days.

I saw that and it looks so tempting. If it wasn't for the fact i'll be finishing up my drive this weekend, i'd be all over it.

Finding a hotel deal in SAN is hard, especially after the start of March. I would try the Priceline route but I would expect to pay more than a $100. Unless of course you're willing to stay at a Motel 6 or something. :)

There is a hotel called 500 West in downtown just on Broadway. Last I checked, the rooms were $69/night but it's a converted YMCA and the rooms don't have private bathrooms.

As MackieMan said there are some hotels in Mission Valley, but they are all over the place as far as price and quality. The Courtyard in Old Town seems to be overpriced most of the time. There is a Hampton Inn in the Sports Arena area which is just north of the airport and I think they may even have a free shuttle. The stuff downtown is insanely expensive. There is a Courtyard in Liberty Center, just west of the airport, and the Sheraton and Hilton across the street are worth checking.

That must be new. They've always had a SFO-IAH around 5pm-6pm for as long as I can remember.

Looking at the schedule, it looks like Sun-Wed-Thurs-Fri. I guess it's just not daily anymore.

CO is just doing its part to make Mondays more :rolleyes:

And you need no drinks; the CRC is free. :rolleyes:

Mid-con red-eyes are the worst :( hated taking them and showing up at school the next morning. Bleh.

Good. :rolleyes:

Oops. I misread CRC as RCC.

I will likely not be very high-functioning at work tomorrow.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

and another :rolleyes: to red-eye mid cons.

...and as I say that I'm about to get on a HNL-LAX redeye :rolleyes:

I'm amazed you can still type after the week you've had. :D
