I'm what you might call "destination flexible": MCO should work fine (the hotel staff at the airport Hyatt know me well). Until this mess my rule was that I'd take the train into Deland (there are nice times both ways; when it had a diner, the Star would arrive just in time to still offer me dinner). However, I've got nothing against dealing with South Florida at this point. If VX went from DCA (or, God help me, IAD) to anywhere in Florida that would be an immediate sale. The main issue is that getting up to JFK to go to FLL is just a little absurd in terms of net cost.

I'd assume I'd be paying cash; my most likely choice would be (as much as I hate to confess it, for I truly hate the airline in question) DL so I could at least drag status on VS out of the deal.
