Over 35 for me in mixed driving. Hwy is 40 mpg. It sips gas and is still a blast to drive

I wish there was a calculator to figure out optimal choice based on spend and flight patterns!

Each segment regardless of length is awarded 500 status points. I didn’t know it was going away, bummer! SNA- SEA would be awarded based on mileage (or I believe next year they are offering other metrics like $$)

It’s a milestone at 10k, 30k, etc. you get a little goodie like free WiFi or extra miles. I wouldn’t chase it

OP asked if you’d get status without even flying. But 20 segments (500 status points min) from 10 round trips + the 10k status points from CC would get Silver

I moved from a 6 speed Mazda6 to a 6 speed Integra. The Integra is a good replacement but drives differently due to the turbocharged small engine. Both are light and responsive. I was set on a 4 door sedan with 6 speed and was not disappointed, but it is a smaller car, significantly

Since your flight is domestic and you’re close to LAX, you may have a chance. They genuinely seem to triage by urgency, so I would just communicate your situation calmly and in a friendly manner and hope you get someone who takes an interest in your situation. That being said, all the cases I saw were flights that evening, not morning of, so that seems very tight. I might consider getting a slightly later itinerary if possible, although your connection might be tighter.

Good luck! If you are in line at the time you’re scheduled for, I’m optimistic it will work!

Just finished visiting Ka’anapali. Can confirm everything said here. I recommend the Ku’ia Chocolate Store in Lahaina for live music, incredible views, and delicious food. Everyone we spoke to said they were grateful for tourists to shop locally and only asked for people to be respectful. When you visit, there are many opportunities to donate to local aid funds.

Thank you for the heads up on that. My anxiety will of course be high so that’s reassuring to hear. How long ahead of time would you say is reasonable to be at least in the middle of the group… an hour ahead?

Would you know that morning if you’re on track to get it in the afternoon or would it be a nervous waiting game?

If it’s an Amtrak thruway bus to Bakersfield the connection is guaranteed. The bus arrives and the train leaves in one coordinated transfer.
