Clearly, I'd have to position myself in IAH, despite living in ATL.
How would this be done? Buy a one way to IAH and then just throw away the return ATL-IAH segment and get off in ATL?
It's been a while since I've posted on FT, and this is the first time I'm entertaining a MileageRun, and I've been reading but it's all VERY confusing.
Leaving in about 2 weeks on my IAH-DTW-NRT-SIN-NRT-ATL-IAH run. Ungraded on all segments EXCEPT DTW-NRT on the 747. There are only 12 seats showing on the D1 seat map so I'm thinking my chances are iffy at best. Looks like ATL-NRT on the same date only has 4 seats left, so it could be worse.
Crossing my fingers but only 12 remaining 16 days out sounds like a longshot.
I've never flown Delta's 747 in C+. At least I have an aisle!
