Yeah giving it a go.

Flew twice (two trips) in last two weeks. Aiming for a third. Masking on the plane is absolutely consistent. What’s bothersome is the damn ORD terminal and rental car busses packed to the gills. I’m...

Nobody will have me

Going from 130,000-150,000 per year to 0 is really making me feel kind of blue. I thrive on personal interaction and love the adrenaline of my travel life.

Covid19 14 day quarantine in China

booked a trip next May yesterday. Usually $250 now $1000 but no change fee before 6/30 so I’ll probably be capturing the lower fare when it comes in due time. Can’t book seat assignments either....

Spot on

i agree 100%. All of the years as a 1K and 1.6mm miles seem to have reached their Zenith. I only have another 4-6 years of this before I retire or at least cut back on the rat race. I don’t think...

First time lucky

When the Covid thing erupted in February and China trips were verboten I made a decision to cash in mikes for a new iPad and Bowflex home gym. Whatever regrets I might have had in doing so at the...

Mileage plus awards major devaluations

I made a move to cash in some miles for a Bowflex
Blaze Home Gym about six weeks ago. I looked today and saw that the same piece of equipment was selling for 3x miles. (130,000 to 346,700).

1.6MM’er resigned to *G

I’ve got another 5 or so years of working. I may or may not hit 2MM, no way to make 3MM. I guess I don’t see much advantage to *A Platinum unless another tier is somehow created for benefits. This...

I don’t think the airlines will be buying aircraft for awhile. It will be the leasing companies fattening their assets with fire-sale prices. Could be Chinese buying since they’re back in action...

Why gamble?

I didn’t keep mine in a huge pile this last year as I saw less and less value in redemption for international travel. With fares likely to cheapen beyond our wildest dreams in the next 12 months I...

Who knows

I decided to hedge my bets. I bought an iPad Pro with miles last week just in case so I don’t feel like I lost everything should it take a fall.

Very few this year with PP
