Just wanted the lounge to be the first to know. I just booked a flight which will result in me taking my 200th TATL. I have arranged it so it is in D1 on Delta metal. I thought appropriate. Only thing that can change it (and I hope not) is a family emergency. July 26th - August 4th CHA-ATL-MAN then MAN-AMS-ATL-CHA

that is indeed appropriate ... that said, I might have looked for a VS 744

In mid to late summer and early fall they move their 744 to other routes and use A330 on the MAN-ATL route. So on my travel times the VS flight is A330 operated - incidentally so is my DL metal AMS-ATL

Only thing that can change it (and I hope not) is a family emergency. July 26th - August 4th CHA-ATL-MAN then MAN-AMS-ATL-CHA
), because one of my test flights at work canceled, and had that not canceled, flight #500 would have been SEA-LAX instead of LAX-KOA.Still a little ways to go for all of it, but I'm closing in on Flight #1 ,000, 1,000,000 miles of flying as logged in Flight Memory, and much further away, DL 1MMer. I plan to keep track and within reason, do what I can to make sure each flight that crosses those thresholds is something "fun" to celebrate.

Mr. Kipper and I are likely booking a trip to PRG in October once he gets home this weekend. He convinced me to wait to book it until he gets home.

a KL 744 would be the best of both worlds!
