Ok, off topic, but I'm sure you want to stay with them, too. I'm sure they've got some quality stories to share, and hopefully you'll be able to share them down the road so they aren't lost.

This is good advice and something anyone visiting CA needs to be aware of. But to clarify, out of state visitors are allowed to come in and stay, but there's a 14 day minimum stay requirement with quarantine. This will be reassessed in So. Cal on January 4th, and only revised if ICU bed capacity meets or exceeds 15%. The Bay Area clock reset to January 7th, with the same restrictions. You can check the status here:

Absolutely. Flying transcon in a middle seat surrounded by WWII veterans is a GLORIOUS experience.

Yep. With international travel restrictions likely continuing well into 2021, I'm finding this to be a pretty good opportunity to offset reduced EQD earnings that I would otherwise obtain from international OW partner ticketed flights.

I'd never heard of Honor Flights until this thread. Glad to learn about them and my hat is off to AS for creating this program and to you, missydarlin, and the others who play the parts in it you choose to play. My career military dad was a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and I know what an experience like this would have meant to him. (Even though he never would have let on, of course.)
I absolutely love that the company and my fellow employees supports Honor Flight, and that we now have 3 salute to service liveries.
There's always a big homecoming celebration and I have in the past posted the date here in case people want to come shake hands or cheer. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
Now back to the discount...9 hours left!!

Totally allowed. I'm an on again off again MVP but with all the travel I've canceled in 2020, had a pretty healthy balance in my wallet so with this sale I've gone crazy with I fares and will be MVPG by the end of January. My job is stressful enough, I don't need the stress of space available travel so that's a benefit I very rarely use.

AS didn't create the program. Its a nationwide nonprofit organization. The Puget sound chapter that i volunteer with flies out of SEA on AS 4+ times a year. I actually found out about them when I was volunteering at the USO. I believe there are 120+ other Honor Flight "hubs" around the country.

The Honor Flight Network program was conceived by Earl Morse, a physician assistant and retired Air Force Captain. Earl, who was working at a VA clinic in Ohio in May 2004, when the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. was completed.
And yes, 9 hours to go. Trying now to book as many flights with my college-age daughters on their school breaks as possible, even though they're non-committal and "might have other plans" when those dates finally get here. I have to wave itins involving HI or AK in front of them to get a text back. Typical.

This is really a welcome gift, need to do a lot of back and forth in Jan/Feb to help out with family and have one child returning to school. This is making our life a bit easier (and cheaper). Love the fact that SEA-PSP prices out at $80 one way in F, that is really nice.

I have the same question.... I just rebooked 12 flights and in many cases got F for my wife and I for the same or less than main cabin.
I am also looking at a mileage run as I saw the article in TPG about becoming Emerald in OneWorld for 2022 so want to hit MVP75/OW Emerald for some heavy international travel in 2022. I am PDX based and the only same day transcon mileage run I can really find is PDX/EWR/PDX.. Arrives EWR 3:30 and leaves EWR 5:30. But its $219 each way in F any way I search (yes, cheaper than U upgrades). Does anyone know of better deals nonstop from PDX? MCO you cant turn in one day.

Booking First Class will definitely save you time, but it also reduces your mileage run RDM earning (cuz you fly less miles to reach 75k status). Personally I try to balance between time, RDM & $$$. I just booked 9 rt (5 in First, 4 in R class) for 3.2cpm EQM
