2018 Year In Miles
Another year of travel is now in the books. 2017 was my most traveled year yet. This year I cut back on my travel — I was in school and had to cut back my work hours which meant less disposable income and time for travel. I was only able to earn Alaska Mileage Plan MVP this year after multiple years as a Gold 75K. With recent negative changes at the airline, I wasn’t feeling as loyal. Let’s take a look at my numbers for this year.
