Hello Everyone, I'm new to the site so I apologize if I'm not completely following the rules here. I've been flying Delta for 15+ yrs and have been Silver/Gold for a majority of those years - currently gold. My father was actually a "Flying Colonel" for those of you who know what that is. I usually fly for business, but I'd love to start flying more for pleasure. That said, I'd appreciate some advice on finding good milage run deals specially out of IAD, DCA or BWI. I use google/flights, but is there anyway (besides following these posts) that I can get alerted of awesome specials?

I'd really appreciate any advice anyone has. Also, any specific deals would REALLY be appreciated. I think that I missed the ORD - PEK deal today (awesome find btw) because I don't see it anymore.

Thanks so much in advance and hopefully I'll get a chance to buy everyone a round (in the Sky Club of course).
