2.1 million AA, 700k United, and 430k with Korean Air actual BIS (except for 450k on AA credit cards).

I think close to 250k for flights to and from Vegas alone.... Yeah I lived out of a suitcase for many years.....

Sad when you can recite the names of cabin crew on half your flights....

 

I'm assuming a lot of international flights ??

I fly almost all domestic....don't fly overseas at all.....

 

When I traveled for work I stayed at Marriott properties almost exclusively. Eventually I cashed in all of my unused Marriott points for Cosmo Identity points.

 

Yup a large chunk would be international.

Although there is a guy on my EWR-LAX flight that does that route six to seven times a month. Lucky bastard now pays economy but flies first class transcontinental on the new Airbus lie flats on AA. Books about six months in advance and get reimbursed by the company at biz class rates.

 

Err... how? AA only operates their Flagship flights from JFK not EWR. The only way I can think of someone paying Y fares but flying in F on the A321T is by having a special corp. contract with AA but even then I don't think they would offer a comp. two-cabin upgrade? SWUs can only be used for one-cabin upgrades as well. Nothing special for their CKs either when it comes to upgrades as I know a few of them who fly this route quite often in paid J/F.

 

Sorry. It's JFK. I'm so used to typing EWR for New York. I'm not sure about the details as I'm only used to flying in the two cabin configs for domestic out of ORD. You at are probably correct as I was on J ticket when upgraded.

I overheard a few people talking about his deal and didn't pay much attention. Haven't spoken with him. He seems to have been doing this route for many years according to the FA. Either way I still envy the guy flying F in that can.

 

I didn't realize you could do that. I will have to find the information on that. I few hundred thousand that I could spare.

 

Yeah he is a genius and honestly that guy is a lucky sob...

The only reason I like SWA and fly SWA is because it flies to everywhere I go... If i was flying international or had the same route day in and day out, I wouldnt fly SWA i can promise you that LOL

 

Just note it doesn't help you progress tier or used for free play. Just able to convert into comps.

 

What's the return rate any clue ?
