Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. I thought it would be cool to share the hotel and airline elite statuses I earned (and matched to) in 2024 along with the number of flights I flew and the number of nights I stayed in hotels. Fun fact: I might be the only travel blogger without Hyatt Globalist Elite Status (I actually don’t have any Hyatt status). Read on to learn more interesting facts about my 2024 travel recap.
2024 Flights & Airline Elite Statuses
- Alaska Airlines is the only airline status that I earned (and care about). I took 14 flights and earned 13,658 elite miles. I also earned 8,000 elite miles from spending $20,000 on my Bank of America Alaska Airlines Credit Card. I am looking forward to earning Alaska Airlines MVP Elite Status in 2025 with several Companion Fare flights and awards booked with Alaska Airlines miles.
- SFO is my nearest international airport, but I only flew United Airlines 3x last year.
- Before the end of 2024, I status matched to Hawaiian Airlines Pualani Gold (allows better seat assignments on Hawaiian Airlines) and Southwest Airlines A List, but I don’t have any Southwest Airlines flights planned in 2025 since all my favorite routes were moved from SFO to OAK.
