2. Fly 5+ Economy segments (Front of the plane with an Economy seat is economy).

3. Fly 2 5* airlines premium cabins(set for 1 as of now; SQ. Not counting LH fake J).

4. Fly 5 new airlines (Set for 3 as of now; IB, LH, SQ).

5. Fly 5 new aircraft (Set for 2 as of now; A350, and A380).

6. Fly to 5 new destinations. (Not sure what to count, but for enough time out of the airport I have 2; FRA, MAD not sure what I'll make of those)

7. Fly over 60k miles. (Barely 17k planned thus far)

8. Fly to one of "the islands", ie DPS, MLE, BOB, MLA, HNL etc...

And here we are, finishing July and 8/9 goals are complete.
I don't think the odds of hitting number 8 are too great, doubling the others seem to be more likely.

What about ATH (or surrounding) for “islands” (at least to be Yotze)?

Don’t even need to book a ticket there, can just fly LY NYC-TLV on a winter Thursday ;)

Was thinking more like JMK/JTR, but yea, not nearly like any of the other samples given.

JMK would work, probably the only one with a decent chance for 2k19
