Note: This trip report is from a trip I took in February. As a result I won't make it as detailed as my usual reports and will have fewer installments, highlighting only the transatlantic flights, hotel, and destination.

Do you have a list of basic cities you always use to start your search and subtract to see if the fare changes?
@ AC -- I'll be writing a post about constructing AA mileage runs to maximize the MPM within the next week. Thanks for the interest.
