I'm currently on the last ATL-BOS leg and I'm seriously considering stopping on the BOS-ATL return and skipping the ATL-LAS-ATL legs. I realize this is a poor decision and I'll regret throwing away 3,500 EQMs, (not to mention redeemables).

HELP ME STAY MOTIVATED. Seriously, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Stay tough. I never have this problem originating from TUS.

But remember...the actual flight is only component of the pain.

With the :-: best in class :-: DL SM, you're about to be FBARTR'ed....which means, all the pain you experienced here won't yield the return you want unless you use those SM now.
