Hello folks. This is my very first posting on FlyerTalk. I've been in the shadows, lurking. You all are an impressive group. Yep...I'm hooked: I'm still working my way through all of the links that Flyertalkers have recommended.
I've read many great postings in the FlyerTalk archival threads from air legends like afang, MRLIMO, Tango, Plato90s, & so many others.
Rookie dilemma: I go to Orlando Jan 23 to compete in a national AAU fastpitch tourney at Disney. I want to devote Jan 23 to a pseudo-mileage run, i.e., start out of DCA & end up in MCO. Goal: rack up segments / miles, preferably AA or CO. Reason: this is one place I ain't gotta go into reasons, eh?
Problem: using aa.com, expedia, travelocity, et.al. per info gleaned from this site = not very good results. I figure by using aa.com & punching in flights through their major hubs (DCA-ORD-STL-DFW-MIA-MCO-MIA-DCA) I can achieve the goal. Anyone's guidance / sage advice / size 13 would be welcomed. You guys have got it goin' on...
