Anyone else done a mileage run for status' sake? I needed four segments at one point so I tried to find the cheapest possible routing I could get. Ended up going out on a Saturday morning and flew to Omaha by way of O'Hare.

I got off the plane in Omaha, bought a snack, and got right back in the boarding line. Locked in status and back home in time for dinner.

Been there, done that, a day trip CLE-BWI to get the last two segments I needed to lock up Platinum.

Also, on the luggage side, I'm a big fan of Eagle Creek folders and their two-sided zippered bags. You can fit a week's worth of clothes in a lot less space than a usual bag. The zipper bags work great for unmentionables - one side clean, one side dirty. Bonus - for a short trip, the folder can be its own suitcase.

Also, I picked up a bag years ago (I think it's by Timberland). Looks like an oversized, black soft-sided briefcase, but it's the same size as a 20" rollaboard. It's got breifcase handles, a shoulder strap, and hidden in the back has backpack straps that can be clipped in. So much lighter than a rollaboard and frankly easier to haul.
