Lifetime Platinum with SPG

11 years after my first SPG stay, I am now lifetime Platinum status. It's very relaxing to have the status I want without it resetting January 1st. I'm excited to get lifetime Gold on United Airlines this year too. Travel should be relaxing and this gets me there.

Nice Landing Into Denver

I had a delightful landing into Denver with great views of the Rockies and spotted USA in a farm field.

2017 - Year in Review

It was a busy year with a new job and my wedding. I flew 96,075 paid miles and 134,608 including award redemptions. I earned lifetime Platinum on SPG and barely made Gold on United. My goal for 2018 is 1,000,000 status with United and I am about 60,000 miles away.

Promotions were infrequent and planes are more densely packed. United's 10 wide coach on 777's is miserable. Extra dense coach seating makes me miss the 747 even more.
