Or even places like MCI or MSP--90% of the time an inquiry comes up as "no flights pick another day", and then, if you do get a flight it's only the 6am departure. In spite of F9s great product, I'm looking to cash out of Early Returns. Perhaps elites get expanded availability for twice the miles, but that's no bargain. F9 is fine for the Kettles, but if you are looking at a FF program, F9 has been useless since BK.
