Wow, TBH I didn't even think about it as much as you did...

-JFK-FRA-WAW was a group nesiah and was sponsored by someone that wanted us there (I actually had the way back paid for as well, but after 48 hours without a bed, I was willing to part with 45k AC so I can get some shut eye)
-SWF-PHL-CLT-PBI-PHL-SWF - After AA started clawing back business extraa points from the referrals, a friend who I helped set up a couple of accounts quickly redeemed his 2k points for a free domestic RT award. A year went by and he hadn't used it. As it was about to expire and he couldn't make use of it, I got to use it free of charge.

Hope that clears it up.

Sry for being nosy or facetious.. :-[ I was just curious what the implication was..thnx for clearing it up

You have a flight listed there EWR-JFK, so unless you were trying to avoid traffic on the Verrazano.... ;)

I dont know on gc maps site how to end a trip and start a new one so it seems like I flew from jfk-ewr..

Anyways, I love this thread

My first year really applying what I've learned, so happy with how it went. All the NYC-Chicago were not for Shallots, unfortunately.


free photo hosting

Miles flown: 44,952
Redeemed - in 2015 for travel in 2015; many more burned in 2015 for 2016 travel.
Southwest: 110,000
AS: 57,500
Citi TYP: 100,000
AA: 17,500
BA (including UR/MR transfers): 48,000
MR: 90,000

Hope to add travel 25% more in terms of distance for next year; already at my goal and booked through Thanksgiving. And already doing some serious tracking since end of 2015 for 2016 travel.

You currently have all your flights listed as one long trip (see: "18 segment path" in the header), so JFK-EWR is showing flown as part of that trip.

What you want to do is separate trips with commas. For example, entering JFK-CDG-JFK, EWR-LAX-EWR will create two separate trips, and not tie JFK and EWR together.

Tell me about it. Work can suck at times. Especially when working remotely is not really an option.  >:(

Consider choosing rectangular projection for the map instead of polar. Gives it a much better sense of place IMO.

My very epic map:



JFK-KEF-JFK: $608.90 in Y
JFK-PTY-HAV-PTY-JFK: 60k SQ in J
Big Check mark, i like
we should start naming these constellations
