Hey Guys
Long time lurker and finally decided to commit and start contributing, no excuses for waiting this long.
I saw this post of Valentines day and really got hooked into the concept, 3 days ago I bit the bullet and signed up for a membership.
I'm based out of YUL so I had asked them to pull up all empty legs in the last 30 days prior to signing up. Most went to NYC and MIA regions which is perfect for a family of 4, we could drive back with a rental car from NYC or use avios to fly back from either cities.
I have yet to take my first flight but when I do I'll make sure to post some pictures.
PM if you'd like to know what I paid etc.

Since I don't believe this special is active any more, I'm going to move this to the Mileage Run Discussion thread. You are all encouraged to follow along and contribute to the discussion there.

Today I scanned every post. If anyone is interested, here are the stats:
Lots of signups (I did not count)
9 people booked flights
Of the 9 booked, 3 flights were taken.
Of the 9 booked, 2 were cancelled.

My math may be off but that leaves 4 others? Booked but not flown?

I'm hoping they do another one of these deals sometime soon. Unfortunately during the Valentine's day promotion there weren't any departing from Northern California, but it sounds like several people purchased memberships from this thread, so it probably paid off for them.
