Flight Time Necessities

I cannot sleep on airplanes!  Why am I taking a night flight then?  Sacrifice!  To get the routing and additional miles an overnight flight was required.  I loathe these flights even when i’m in first class.  Something about flying calms me.  I want to be awake, I want to experience the entire time in the plane.  Even if it means sitting there for 17 hours straight.

Again I took advantage of the Schedule Change on Delta to make a change on my return flight to maximize the mileage.  I just bumped my total mileage from 8200 up to 9000 mileage round trip.  I’m now getting 9000 EQM miles for $300 plus bonus miles of 4500 due to my status.  Am I crazy?  Cost for changing the routing, Zero!

On Flight Two I took advantage of the Schedule Change on Delta to make a change on my return flight to maximize the mileage.  I just bumped my total mileage from 8200 up to 9267 mileage round trip.  I’m now getting 9267 EQM miles for $300 plus bonus miles of 4500 due to my status.  Am I crazy?  Cost for changing the routing, Zero!

Flight Two OLD ROUTING Sept 27-30

How can I maximize the miles even more?  I can’t!  This was the best routing to maximize miles!

Someone asked “What are your must haves while traveling?”  Besides my iPhone I travel with two necessary items;

iPad is the first item.  It’s so compact and basically does everything I need it to do including watch movies, surf the net and play music.

my Mophie charger back is the second!  it will charge my iPhone is 1 hour and my iPad in 1-2 hours.  It’s compact enough that I can bring my Mophie with me when I go out on the town.

My favorite weather site is Wunderground.com  Here is the forecast  for SJU for next weekend! http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=18.436459,-66.005055.

I’m quite excited.  Because i’m making this trip twice in the same month I bought the GoGo monthly pass rather than the other offered passes.  This saves about $12.00 + in in-flight internet access.  GOGO ONLINE
