90% business, 10% personal - most of the business is to Africa and Asia, so the miles pile up fast. I am a government personal services contractor and have to fly coach, but I use my SWUs to upgrade. I also work for a private company and fly domestically for them. I have been Platinum for 2 years, but this year will fly 145K miles and upgrade to Diamond.

I prefer the herringbone config on Delta to the straight-across config on United in C class, where you are too close to your neighbor and have to invade his or her personal space to get out of your seat (or vice versa). It's a stupid design and I avoid it at all costs - I usually fly Global First when on United using miles (always personal, of course) - if I have to fly them.

For 2012-13
25K mqm Amex reserve and Amex Delta plat card
105,000 BIS
I do a few long hauls each year to Asia, Australia and DXB. Short hops up and down the east coast in between but they don't really garner the miles the TATL AND TPAC do.
