US Airways Dividend Miles - Suggestions for use/extension of flight credits?

Hey all,

I'm usually over on the AC board and I couldn't find anything on the sticky or from searches, so I'm throwing out the question.

Q: what can I do (if anything) to maximize the flexibility of unused flight credits or lengthen their validity? Or ideas for best use?

Situation: I have a couple of unused flight credits from non-refundable flights in the past that are coming up to the 1-year mark from original date of issue (in October). These are not from DB or vouchers or any kind. Value is in the $500-800 range. No firm travel plan (yet) between now and then.

I gather these flight credits are not combinable (Unless each is a o/w ticket), flight must likely all be completed within 1 year (confirm? to contrast, with AC outbound must commence within 1-year, I/B could conceivably be EOS).

I'm flexible; e.g. MRs, originating from home town or East Coast, I like TATL/TCon, don't mind topping off.

I'd be interested in hearing about your thoughts/suggestions/experience. :)

Thanks in advance,

Usually, people would rebook with a loss of $150. I believe you can rebook a RT into OW, so you can combine later.

Thanks for the reply burlax and all those that took a peek at this thread to see if I can be helped.

It looks like I'm SOL on extending, as I feared, but can still turn a r/t to a o/w and v.v.. Unfortunately I don't think this'll work for TATL and o/w fares price into the top fare classes with top $$$.

Cheers,
