Zip;
I'm a big fan of the NW work-around, but in this case, judging by his itinerary for the next week or so, it would appear that CO's double-elite miles promo was a major factor in his planning.
It does appear that he got the worst of both worlds if he had to book within the 3-day window, pay HoKeY-- fly coach.
But as I said, this thread really should be called "3-day rule stinks!"
p.s. let's go Yanks?
