I've got the day off today (the 29th) and in the spirit of the new double preferred miles promo, just booked a great last-minute MR from DCA to SAN to spend a day at the beach and top off my account to get CP status :cool:

The total fare? Only $234.90 all in, with an *eight-hour* advance purchase and same-day return!

According to usairways.com, this fare ($204+, in "SQ" booking class) is available from DCA/IAD/BWI to SAN/LAX/SFO/SEA any day of the week, and is fully refundable with no advance purchase or minimum stay.

Grab this one while you can!
