thanks - I'll stick with the separate convertible and SUV

Hey, it's an award booking on BA 3 months out - I'm glad that I'm not flying back from DFW !

The advantage of using LAX is that they have thousands of cars, so lots of choice (and the nicest cars seem to be at LAX).
Rent the 2nd car before dropping off the 1st - what a good idea

[that's genuine, by the way, I really hadn't thought of that]
Thanks.
