US ran several sales to Europe for Winter travel in the early fall. Today I received an e-mail announcing another one. I hope to be able to work this sale around my dates, since it didn't work out a couple months ago.

Here's a cc of the e-mail:

DCA-FRA for the weekend of Nov. 10-12th is $425 including taxes. Nice little mileage run for you end-of-the-year planners in the DC area.

Could be a nice way to get Premier or Premier Executive. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

geo, you are so cynical about this merger http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

And a mileage run would be great if...

you are working on chairman's 1K.

or how about preferred executive?

premferred?

Perhaps I am a bit cynical. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I do a lot of my travel in the first three or four months of the year and it's a little hard to plan ahead when I don't know whether I should be booking US flights or UA/LH flights. Oh, well.

I continue to hope that the regulatory gods will prevent the proposed merger.
