This would be a classic case of what we went through booking our trip to Orlando coming up December 15th for three weeks.

The choices right up til the booking didn't feel right.. I was on the phone and checking online constantly.. At one point, I've could have got first class seats on the perfect dates, and burned double the amount of miles. Seemed perfect, didn't feel right, because we could have two trips on coach for the same amount of points.. That means two seperate trips to Disney World eventually. My gut feeling at that time was to book coach on AE points, still no luck.. but my gut feeling was to stick to my guns. Then I looked into paying for Coach tickets, and they were good half decent deals, and I still didn't pull the trigger for awhile.. I was into the screens online adding passport info, and decided to sleep on it for another day and explore options.. Next day, budda boom budda ching, flights YYC-MCO $320 including taxes and fees round trip Christmas break.. booked 3 tickets right away.. Saved the points, and at this price it was an unbelievable deal.

Go with your heart.. You've got a flight already, so that's your backup..
