T-wiz and I took advantage of those cheap UA SFO-CMH fares for this miles run. Ice storms were blanketing the country and it could have been a real mess, but we managed to get lucky and ended up with more miles than originally planned.

As he reports, we were first rerouted to IAD due to a cancellation. Our flight from there to CMH was cancelled and UA was going to put us up for the night, but we figured things probably weren't going to be any better in the morning. So, the agent thought we were crazy, but we quickly hopped the last flight of the night back to SFO. In all, we were in IAD for about 20 minutes.

We ended up with about 14,500 miles each for $127 and we still have some tickets left for cancelled flights, which I'm told we can get refunds on.

I thought it was a pretty good haul for one day's work, but T-wiz is hoping this was not only his first miles run, but his last. I tried to raise him right ... where did I go wrong?
