Logical options (I'm LAX-based) seem like a trans-con with a connection, or maybe a Hawaii flight. I'd also been contemplating a Z fare to Europe this year, and this might make me pull the trigger on that.
Anything else I should be considering?
If you want it over with in a weekend and can overnight do a search for refundable first ONT - TPA. Just did a search $858.20 for 5800 BIS miles all booked into A. Routing was automatic for the weekend of 2/14, ONT - DEN - IAD - TPA - ORD - DEN - ONT. I think that's going to be the cheapest way to get it done. It's a HUP fare, but when the triple EQM promo was going on I did receive TEQM. It's nice to sit in F without worrying about the upgrade. I wish I could have gotten 1k for only $858.20. What a bargain.
