Week in Tokyo
My first post...
AA 168 JFK-NRT 11/13
AA 167 NRT-JFK 11/22
The first leg of this trip will net me my first elite status - AA Gold. Actually, by the end of trip with AA's Double EQM promo, I will be 5K short of Plat and debating if I should take take the long way home for Xmas.
Maybe JFK-LAX-ORD-LGA or JFK-SFO-ORD-LGA. We shall see! Depends on hotel deals. =)

Welcome to FT! Wow, only 5,000 short of Plat? You have to go for it, no thinking about it! There is a nice difference between gold and platinum. The 100% RDM bonus on everything flown is great and upgrades come much easier. Go for it!

Don't stay in Manila...go to one of the resort areas north of there. If you insist on staying in the capital, Makati City is the part of town to stay in.
