Busy month for me.

First, a business trip up to our second office in San Francisco. Just a couple days to turn over a few projects:

07 APR SAN-SFO WN202 733
09 APR SFO-SAN WN739 733

Second, A quick transcon run immediately after I return from San Francisco to attend a wedding of an old friend:

10 APR SAN-SFO UA2152 733
10 APR SFO-BOS UA174 762
11 APR BOS-SFO UA177 762
11 APR SFO-SAN UA2181 735

And last but not least, a VACATION!!! The bad thing is that I had to cut this trip short by a few days... :-(

21 APR SAN-LAX UA5256 EMB120
21 APR LAX-AKL QQ100 744
24 APR AKL-SYD QQ44 744
28 APR SYD-LAX QQ7 744
28 APR LAX-SAN UA5245 EMB120

*note: would have liked to use all UA for this trip, but I thought that using Qantas would be a grand way to put some fire back into my neglected AA account.

Hey Scooter -

QF is the two-letter designator for QANTAS.
QQ is RenoAir.

Just thought you'd like to know!

You mean QQ doesn't fly to SYD? Argh!! I'm Screwed! :-)

Thanks,

-Scott

That's all for April.

I haven't decided where all of the UA / AC miles go yet. Will have to see this year's mileage needs for elite status on both before deciding.

If you haven't already, take a look at the Star Alliance comparison chart under the Star threads under the Global Alliances heading on Flyer Talk http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum82/HTML/000002.html . If you are flying business class you might even consider Lufthansa's miles and more--status comes very quickly at 200% of normal miles for business class seats (basic + 100% bonus).

* LH miles&more-miles: for flights 1'000+500+500+1'000=3'000 (UA mileage plus would credit only 2'000 as the international segment Zurich-Germany would only give the 500 minimum miles, LH minimum for this 1'000).
* UA-miles for Marriott: 500 plus 1/5 of 2'500 Marriott bonus for five stays)
* SR-miles: 1'000 for 2 stays at Crown Plaza: as they give 500 miles per check-in (and not "only" 2.5 miles per $ spent as UA).

Dont usually take dbl connections but the fare was 387.50. Single connection was in the upper 500's when i booked. 722 is oversold PBI DFW, hoping to get bumped and arrive sooner!

Im a newbie here but have accumulated and cashed in about 1.5 million miles. I have been PremEx on UA, Gold on TW, US. Platnium on PA (remember them?) Now I'm just a simple silver on DL.

For a report on problems I have had with their web site res section, I will be posting in the DL section soon.

baobab: Thank you for your concern, much appreciated. Everything is OK.
The trip has been postponed, I'm not sure about the date.
