CPU ahead of 1K window

I got EWR-RIC CPU at T-98.5 H, instead of T-96 h. United assigned mine and Mrs. Kmxu’s preferred seats on E-175. Very impressive!

On the other hand, RIC-EWR CPU was issued at T-40 h. But I cancelled that flight and took nonstop RIC-MCO on JetBlue.

Add: MCO-EWR-RIC was changed to MCO-IAD-RIC due to travel waiver (will arrive home before snow begins). Received CPU for MCO-IAD at T-24 h. No chance for CPU on IAD-RIC, however. We can deal with the 20-min flight in E+. 😀

Add #2: Got CPU for IAD-RIC, due to 4 h delay. Only 3 pax in FC cabin, with additional 16 pax in economy. Some people chose to drive to Richmond to beat out the upcoming snowstorm.
