Trip Report: Winter Mileage Runs

These mileage runs were planned months ago, though like everything, some things change – like staffing shortages completely cancelling a second RDU (Raleigh-Durham) run.

This isn’t ALL the flying I’ve been doing this year, just the ones where I fly someplace, get off the plane, reboard the same plane and come home. Rache was with me on three out of the four of these.

The total flight distance for these flights is 19,978 flight miles which is 22 miles short of Alaska MVP Silver. Of course, I’m going for at least Alaska MVP Gold 75K, if not 100K.

Additional note – I was tempted to jump on this plane while in Boston and go the boyfriend:

That’s it for the Winter Mileage Runs this year. Here’s hoping for at least 75K Status so I can keep getting upgrades – 6 out of the 8 legs I got upgraded. Damn Fort Lauderdale, never going back!
