Mileage run
Need to crack off some miles to ensure I maintain Diamond Delta so I’m ORD to LAX, LAX to JFK, JFK to LAX, LAX to MSP. I’m regretting it already!! :)

Last year I was 800 miles short of my Executive Platinum status on AA, the highest level. I went down to the airport on December 30th, flew from SAN to PHX, got off the plane, boarded the exact same plane and flew home. Since I get 500 miles for every flight, I passed my 100,000 by 200 miles. Worth it? HELL YES!!!

My wife and I did ORD to SFO, had lunch, and flew back a few Decembers ago for the same reason, but only for lowly AA Platinum in our case. It was around $270 per round trip, but AA was asking around $1200 apiece to buy into Platinum when we were each a few hundred miles shy. Waste of a day, but it is just barely worth it to us. Especially nice when we have the kids and I'm lugging a backpack of camera gear and two booster seats and I want guaranteed overhead bin space.

Mileage run
Does that status add anything for 1st Class flyers?
Past 10 years after retiring I didn’t make Medallion levels due to less travel. But I also chose to only fly 1st for the past 10 years and never missed a beat. I’d stopped using the terminal clubs since they’re full of seemingly angry flyers and noise.
