That's good to hear, from the perspective of people who would set up the flight as part of a MR, because DEQM are more likely to be offered in pre-holidays Q4 than other times of year.

I'd love to go, however, since I've had to drop from 1K to 1P due to travel budget cuts, someone will have to walk me down a glass of champagne to my seat in E+.

Me too, I can't hang with you big guys and your SWU's but I would like to be there if time allows. If the 10MM flight is to the US, those of us with less, time or money should meet the party when it gets to the gate ^.

I am thinking 'tis just as likely to be somewhere over the Pacific.

He's also flown enough on American Airlines to earn lifetime gold, million-miler status, but when given the choice, he picks United.

I wouldn't mind betting that much of that would have come from J/Y/B travel on Qantas domestic ... mainly J ...

Don't have lifetime global status, but I feel that I am treated that way!
