2017 Year In Miles
I had a personal record year of travel in 2016. I went back to school and assumed my travel would decrease this year, but in 2017 I actually traveled ever so slightly more. I used a lot of miles for flights but I also earned a ton… all credited towards Alaska. I was able to hit Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Gold 75K again, though with the changes in partnership with American, will likely be my last time hitting the top elite for some time. Lets take a look at my numbers for this year.
