January 21
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I’m off on a mileage run of sorts that began Saturday. I’ll be crisscrossing the country numerous times and traversing the Pacific Ocean on a pair of flights. And I say “mileage run of sorts” since it doesn’t fall into the ultra lowball cents-per-mile category, as well as my other purpose for the trip: to bring me within striking distance of million-miler on United much sooner this year than later. Oh, and it’s all in first class!
In total, I’ll rack up about 23,000 lifetime miles, 30,000 Premier Qualifying Miles, and roughly 83,000 redeemable miles due to generous class-of-service bonuses. It’s not the craziest run I’ve ever done and I’m breaking it up with hotel stays in various cities to keep me sane. I’ll provide all the details, reviews and more when I return.
In the meantime, posting will be light for the rest of the week here on Frequently Flying. I should be back to regularly scheduled programming next Monday.
Safe travels everyone!
