Same, unless something comes up.
Since I couldn't get anything resembling reasonable fares HNL-TYO on DL in December (mainly because I'm flying right around the Honolulu marathon, and they've been full in coach for ages) I'm trying out HA's new HNL-HND run, and it looks like I'll thus stay a Platinum - although I might have 40,000 rollover MQMs.

DL Status
Since this is Election Day in the US, seemed to be a good time to poll our DL elites and check out status for next year. So the question is: Will your DL status be ^ or 
or stay the same in 2011?
For me, it's ^. Went from PM to DM due to much more intl travel, looking good for DM at least through 2012.
So what say you, which direction is your status heading for next year?

I'm Hoping to Remain Diamond
I'm hoping to go down to RDU to fly to NRT early next month; that will put me over 125k MQMs.
My wife will need about 46k MQMs to requalify for DM. She is looking at an RDU-SIN RT in M class, which should do the trick.

Will stay DM in 2011 and will start the year with about 117,000 miles due to roll-over. Should make DM for 2012 with my first 2011 trip .... Tokyo

Definitely lower. I'll be PExec on United this month and I'm about 4k miles away from being Silver, but I don't really care about Delta anymore. I'm sure the removal of perks was supposed to push people like me to Gold-- which I could've done-- but I'd rather just consolidate my flights onto one airline now and not fly Delta at all.
