Morbid thought, but someone needing a last-minute trip to a funeral or to see a dying relative might be your best target.

Remember that you can split it into two one-ways to maximize value, potentially.
==============================
I woefully agree with the "target" idea. I was in the position with 3 older children trying to fly them out to pay their respects to their grandfather who died relatively quickly after a cancer diagnosis just a year ago. I was on here seeking help (back and forth giftings, shall we say). I ended up paying about $1000 plus on their travel when it was all accumulated.

On the other hand, while I don't have that issue this year, I do travel WN about 3-4 times to BNA a year (personal business) and could always hope for an opportunity to work w/non-WN fans here.
