I liked to think that I was a frequent flyer but the bar is set so high. I flew twice a week, every week, for nearly a year straight at my job. Only made it up to Delta Gold status recently and I can't even access the lounge.

I already spent nearly a year of my life living in a hotel and I'm not even in the top tiers of the travel world.

You don't spend enough. Try being rich next time.

Airline status is a joke these days. If you don't have their credit card it's basically impossible.

I don't know about Delta (never flown with them), but with my usual airlines it's not just the frequency, but also distance and ticket type.

Yeah I was flying domestic 600 mile (965 km) flights across the country in main cabin sardine class so I probably wasn't racking up miles that well.
