Wow!
I just read some of those ITINS to my hubby. He says "I'd love to do that after I retire, but I don't think you know how to get that many miles for $1400." So I say that's what FT is for...there's a whole primer on how to create a great run, he should read it. Naw, he says, that's what I have you around for...you'll be retired ,too, and will need something to keep you busy. But, boy oh boy, it will be fun learning. I already have varicose veins, so he's welcome to the seat time.
Good luck and have a great time. Eileen ^ |

1/11 MDW-MSP 1/12 MSP-IAH-AUS-IAH-LGW 1/13 LGW-IAH-MSP 1/14 MSP-IAH-DFW-IAH-LGW 1/15 LGW-IAH-MSP 1/16 MSP-MDW Repeat, with varitations, on 2/8-12 I find the red-eyes are actually the easiest part of doing MRs. Can get some sleep. I never manage to sleep on day flights and find Europe->West Coast/Texas quite boring once into the 3rd/4th hour of the flight. |
What can I say? You are a genious! Wish I could have thought of that... :D
In all reality, as I have told you a million times, you wont regret it! You are really going through those P-ness'es quickly... 2P to 1P to 1K in two months. Niiiice! :D |

LAX-PHL-based MR earning me 10,878 for ~$300. MCI-LHR-based MR earning me 22,672 for ~$550. MCI-LHR-based MR (#2) earning me 22,170 for ~$550. Aside from that, I whacked-out the routing on a couple of my already scheduled business trips (no additional cost to employer), getting me almost 10,000 more. Badda bing. If you want to be technical, it was $1900 cuz of the double EQM offer, but I had been planning on buying that just to get my default biz travel up to 1P. |
Hey, man, it is cheap!!!!

Hey, you also get two extra SWUs because u will have 150440 EQM by end of the year, 2 extra SWUs for each extra 50000 EQM after 100K EQM
so $1400+500=1900 for 8 SWUs and 1k status and 2 CR1, lots of 500 milers and lots of extra miles dude! that's free!!!!!!! am I miss something? I should think fly on other airlines first then wait until end of the year to fly UA :D :D

Very nice...I think much better than me.
I needed 70k EQM to reach 1K and I think I spent $1410+$499 promo... So I think pretty close to you, but my trips are just LONG segements (direct SFO-LHR or SFO-ORD-MUC)... If you don't mind, PM me you uand lucky's sn...us young'uns should stick together...esp if you do have AIM...we can chat as 3 1Ks !!! |
