I think I may be the top runner thus far. SQ001 (SFO-HKG), scheduled departure 12/31 22:50. It was actually 23:50 when I booked it back in Sept. Scheduled arrival was 1/2 ~6AM.

I am sweating on GS regualification.....
I opted to fly more NH over the transpac and more RTW trips instead of US-Asia return flights on UA may cost me the GS in 2013....I flew a full-fare business transpac roundtrip in December hoping to tilt the scale, but may be too late....

Pretty much the same story for me. Final trip was mid-December, and I needed to break up a IAD-SFO direct flight to IAD-ORD, ORD-SFO in order to squeeze by with 75,009. Was going to miss it by 15 miles otherwise...
