Cancel award because of Sandy?
Will DC waive the usual cancellation deadline for my award ticket to Newark on 1 November and allow me to cancel a few hours before the flight? It's only then that I will know whether or not the New York Marathon, which I am was going to run on Sunday, will go ahead.

Yep. I can see the arguments both for and against cancelling, but getting most people there before cancelling seems the worst call given the drain on resources like fuel .

Yes, I did take the flight as the official information was that the Marathon will go head regardless and it was only after I'd arrived that it was cancelled. Grrrrrr! I still had a good time though doing 4 1/2 laps through Central Park with thousads of others ......
