Thanks XLIIOPER, I was going to pay with AMEX (then convert it to a membership rewards redemption w/in 24 hours) and a couple of ecerts as I've done before; not PWM. Yeah Christmas Eve and weekdays are pretty much out for family reasons. I've looked pretty hard for something that would fit my timeline and this one seems to fit the bill but I've not done a WS flight before. I appreciate you looking at it and your comments/suggestions.

If you are talking about using Pay with Miles when you say "membership rewards points", you cannot combine Pay with Miles with eGift cards or certs for payment. Nor can Pay with Miles be used on itins that have flights which are not operated on DL metal (so the YEG itin with WS flights would be disqualified from using Pay with Miles).
