I've re-opened this thread in an environment for which I think the topic will work best (it was formerly in the United forum). I only ask that you somehow read through the comments of those members who have gotten off topic and continue the dialog with the idea of sharing this information - heck, saving money for travel these days is a very good topic. Thanks. The decision for FlyerTalk to support members with this forum has been well received and I look forward to your continued support in making it work for your interest. As for those others out there - please don't give them any satisfaction of a reply, they likely don't deserve one.
