Last Acts as a Platinum?
 
I'm Platinum falling to Gold on Feb 1, 2016. Anything I should consider doing beforehand?

On your last flight, grab a few beers from the galley and exit the plane from the tail-exit w/o disarming the slide? :p

I'm in the same boat. I've got a trip next week I'll be a Plat on, then the flights the following week I'll be reduced to Gold :)

Last chance for extra mileage runs if you want to keep Plat. (buy higher fares for extra PQMs & RDMs.)

Last chance to fly with 8 others in E+.

Edit....removed incorrect info.

Last chance for 3 free bags.

Last chance to be waitlisted for YB fares for instant upgrades within 5 days.

Last chance to say DYKWIA as a Plat.:rolleyes:

OP is going from plat to gold (as am I). Gold still gets free SDC and all elites get YB instant upgrades, so OP will still have those things.

DW and I are in the same boat. However we managed to use our last 3 RPU on a flight from Tampa to IAD for us and a colleague on the evening Jan 31. We don't drink so he has to do thee free drinking for all of us. He will man up and try

We also can use the extra bag home from Florida

You are right about SDC, I misread chart.

About the YB fares, I meant to say that after Feb. 1, only 1Ks will be put on upgrade standby list for YB fares within 5 days. (I assume they also include GS). I will go back and edit my Post.
