Mirror of a thread in the AA forum.
How old were you when you first received 1K or GS status (or whatever equivalent level their was at the time)? How did you achieve this status at that age?
1K for the first time this year at the age of 29 and will be GS next year (2016) still at 29 via Pass Plus Flex. Lots of international travel for a business I own and a bi-coastal marriage for most of the year with frequent trips back and forth.
What about you?

Living in ANC . . . lots of business travel to SFO, BOS, and NYC, Europe for fun. Red-eyes ex-ANC with 5 a.m. Sea-Tac arrivals for the onward connection and catching zzz in the N terminal RCC dungeon. Those were some tough miles.

Became 1K after merger. Too old to really utilize it like I would like, but do enjoy frequent CPUs. Was top level Elite with Continental OnePass before the merger.

First made any kind of status at 19 on Delta thanks to transcons for school. Often was told I was too young to have status when checking in.
Made 1K on UA @ 26 due to work (consultant + a fair amount of leisure travel). Only a little over 1/3 to MM since I was fairly diversified with AA and DL.
I enjoy the perks with all the work travel and treating the GF to nice trips with upgrades or miles.
