None on any transcon nonstops or leisure routes, a handful on awkward connections at an exorbitant fare and another few on redeye connections. Helluvajob, you frugal devils.
We put 26 to very good use last year. Transcons, leisure, multi-segment, Costa Rica, Mexico and Hawaii on daytime flights twice. We have 18 more for this year. Oregon was in the mix too. If you have zero flexibility no FF or Loyalty program is right for you.
