I've got 4 trips booked. I was a little late getting into it and so did it the easy way just to & from SEA -- didn't have much time to plan anything
Too bad I didn't realize that ART was so close to Ottawa or would have booked one for next January when I have to go there. Would have been nice to get 2 round-trips back to back on a weekend but couldn't. Since I'm in Vancouver, Canada, I did most of them on our holiday weekends going Sun-Mon - no saturday-sunday left that I could find. Not quite as good as my SEA-ORD-CLT-ORD-LAX & LAX-ORD-CLT-ORD-SEA trip last fall all on UA metal for a little more money (when I actually had to go SEA-LAX) but I'm not complaining.
