I’m 2700 MQM short of reaching Platinum with Delta. Is it worth doing a mileage run before EOY, or should I take the rollover into 2020?

I fly to and from MSP and often get upgraded w/ platinum. In my opinion, plat is where you actually start seeing benefits so I would go for it. TPG does a status valuation - perhaps you can see if the difference between Plat and Gold is > your mileage run cost.

Where are you flying to/from most often?

Out of hubs, plat isnt that helpful. On smaller routes, it would be more helpful

For reference—- flew lga to atl every week and never got 1st class, usually was like 15-60 on upgrade list

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
