You just need to fly 20 times from la to nyc, 5000miles divided by 100,000 miles = 20 flights. A flight from JFK to LAX and back would cost about 400$. 400 times 20 is 8000$.
Flying round trip from NY to LA gets one about 5,000 executive miles. Attaining Platinum Executive Status (and the crazy cool perks that go with it) for 12 months requires one to accumulate 100,000 executive miles — the equivalent of 20 round trip NY to LA flights — in the same calendar year. In other words, it's not likely to happen in this lifetime unless you're Casey Neistat.
If a roundtrip is 5,000 miles, then you would need to make 20 roundtrips from NY to LA a year (almost 2 trips a month). At about $250-$325 a roundtrip you are spending $5,000-$6,500 on flights annually to maintain that special membership for a business class flight that is between $1000-$1200. The average person is not going to spend that much time flying or over $6k in order to get a $1k flight for $250. You're not getting some special bargain; in fact the airlines are laughing at the suckers who keep spending their money on flights to get into some pointless club that makes a 5 horu flight only 20% more enjoyable. I know this video is really old, but it's disgusting to try and promote irresponsible spending for everyday people

I haven't flown for a long time. I can't believe how rich you are.

Amazing video. Good job 📸✌️
This isn't an exploitation, this is what the airline wants you to do.
Let me get this straight sssooooo you earn luxury by flying a lot but that runs out so you have to fly a lot to be able to get luxury and then…
You also ha e to have money
Seems like a ripoff

Well that was a waste of time
Don’t you commit to an alliance such as one world or star alliance instead of an airline?
Am I a mad lad, I don't fly a lot, but I still watched it
Here I am.. never have been in a plane
I have never been on commercial airline … Though I still watching

Nothing compared to Lufthansa, for highest status you need 600.000 miles
What a bullshit video
