Thanks to all for the unanimous responses to book at site 59.

I did just that and have since canceled the miles and the previously booked rental car reservation.

My mentor is 71 and just finished a round of Radiation so I really started thinking that there may not be alot more oppurtunities to spend time flying with him. So I thought I would take this oppurtunity.

I am glad that my thinking was along the lines of the rest of the knowledge base on FT. I looked on AA.com and the same flights were available for over $1000 a piece. I also just looked on ITN and the outbound is now showing Y1.

It would be quite a hoot for one or more of us to take a bump on a Site59 fare. Althougth that would basically defeat the purpose of being on the same flight.
