2011 Second Quarter Travel Update
The second quarter of 2011 is in the books. Am I half way to keeping my Platinum American status and Diamond Hilton status?
To maintain my Platinum status on American Airlines, I need to fly 60 segments or 50,000 miles. The miles will always be difficult to get since almost all my travel is inside the United States. So far this year I have 24,340 miles (48.7% of the way there), but I have 38 segments (63.3% of the way there). So I'm looking good for Platinum status.
For Hilton Diamond, I need 28 stays (a check-in/check-out at a hotel) or 60 nights to maintain my status. I haven't been able to stay exclusively at Hilton properties for every one of my trips (proximity to customer, lack of available hotels, etc). But I have managed 25 nights (41.7% of the way there) in 16 stays (57.1% of the way there). I'm looking all right based on number of stays to maintain my Hilton status.
I think my travel is going to slow down for a little while, so my pace for the first half of the year isn't a good indication of how it will be the second half of the year.
Between all my trips this year (on any airline), I have flown 20,642 miles. I have spent 35 nights at somewhere besides my home (that includes work trips and vacation days/weekend getaways). I have spent time 17 states plus Canada, Costa Rica, and Washington DC. I have taken off for a flight at 17 different airports.
States this year: CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, MA, MI, MO, NE, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VA, WI, WV
Airports this year: ABE, ATL, BMI, BOS, DCA, DEN, DFW, DTW, LGA, MIA, MKE, OMA, ORD, PIA, PIT, SJO, YUL
