Since you use the app fairly frequently, are you ever finding that you book something only to have it be cancelled because they now have use for the aircraft? That would be a concern I have, to book a trip around an empty leg only to have the leg cancelled.
Thank you
gooseman13. Yes, I've had one cancellation out of 6 booked, an 800 from MKE-APA. Fortunately, I was in north suburban Chicago and was able to get an AA flight back home from ORD a couple hours later. I've also booked 4 or 5 others (not counting 2 butt bookings) but cancelled when the departure time didn't work. With the risk of cancellation, I am reluctant to book anything where I have to position and don't make any return reservations that can't be cancelled without penalty.

I only took the plunge because my sales rep was pretty persuasive, I don't regret it one bit. Great value even if I don't take anymore flights until my membership expires.
Agree. I don't regret the membership and figure we've already got our money's worth. And since we are grandfathered at our original annual membership fee, pretty sure that we will re-up for another year.
