Gifting intro MQMs from Amex Platinum?

Hi,

I've been brainstorming on how to reach DM this year (due to some career anomalies, I'm about 10K MQMs short with current travel plans). Today, my wife received an offer for her own Platinum...

Lima as a tourist destination?

When is a same-day not a same-day change?

Apologies in advance for venting:

I'm PM (and as such, also Skyteam Elite+) and booked through Delta on a GDL->LAX flight on AM metal. Is it normal that even as PM, AeroMexico will not allow me to select a seat (and as such,...
