Thanks. I'm looking to leave on August 19 and to return on the 30th or 31st.</font>
How about this outbound in F domestic and C international (per the WPAA lister):
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">08/19 NW0663 EWR 0225P -> DTW 0419P 0 Y N Y D9S
08/19 NW0068 DTW 0530P -> AMS 0730A+1 0 N Y Y 744
08/19 NW8523 AMS 1010A -> MXP 1155A+1 0 N Y Y 737</font>
Okay, I see -- it's the return that's icky. The only flight I can find any seats on is:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">08/27 NW8518 MXP 0645A -> AMS 0835A 0 N Y N 737
08/27 NW0063 AMS 1130A -> EWR 0135P 0 N Y N D10</font>
I betcha if you want a week or two return seats might become available.
It's too bad that Amtrak is now limiting point transfers to 25,000 per year -- you could have done CO --> Amtrak --> United. That would have opened up more redemption options.
