Early on in my career, I traveled a lot. I was proud of my premier exec status on United which you archived by flying over 50,000 miles in a year. Maintained that status for many years. It was a badge that us travel warriors wore proudly. I was also a savvy Traveler. I made sure to take flights on planes that had to most upgradable seats to maximize my chances of sitting in business class or first class. I planned my hotel stays at the same hotel chain to acquire even more points. It was a lot of planning, but at the time, I thought it was fun. Boy how things have changed. Over the last few years, I have lost all my status on United and I really don’t mind. I think I made one trip all of last year and that is just fine with me. Unfortunately, I have recently become involved on a project ( using ApEx ) that has required me to again join the traveling world. Twice in the last two weeks I had to make a day trip from DC to Boston. Not the worst trip, but still not fun. Getting up at 4-4:30AM to make the 7AM from IAD to BOS and to get the 6:30PM back home is not my idea of a good time. Not only am I losing out on my beauty sleep, on my most recent trip, I lost my suit coat. Yup, gone. Let me explain. I was on the 6:30PM out of BOS back into IAD. Delayed, of course, for 45+ minutes. Not horrible but not how you want to finish up your day which started at 4:30AM. So anyway, after we landed, all I wanted to do was get the hell off the plane, ...
