I'm leaning towards CCS, though I am worried about being allowed out of the country. I have associations with people who fled Venezuela when Chavez took power.

All of these are the weekend fares so I'd only be in the different places for a day.

I watchlisted BZ - it's either them or boosting my position in IVAN when my brokerage credits my signup bonus.

I wonder if I trained you in your "other" life. :eek::p

And said associations are apparently either strong or public enough that you would sweat a problem with border entry? Tough call. CCS wasn't much to look at when I was there, but that was 13 years ago now.

icurhere2 - Do you know if a DL Plat make a change to the return portion of an award without using one of their 2 redeposit/reissue fee waivers?

I don't know about BZ's upside from here - from less than 30 cents a share, it was pretty darn clear.

Not enough information - domestic or international? SDC or changing the dates / routing for a future date? Trip already started or no?

I know one can do SDC on a domestic award provided there are no checked bags. One cannot do an ordinary SDC on international award itinerary or if a bag is checked.

Yeah, I need to find a few of those picks.

The fact that they still have family in Venezuela and that their industry is oil is what is slightly worrying. Reading the Department of State info makes it sound like tensions have minimized.

Domestic. Changing the routing of the return portion of a future trip that has not yet started. I want to change my return from ANC-SEA-SLC-EWR to ANC-[AS milk run]-SEA-ATL-EWR. Class of service and mix of carriers would be the same. I'm just not sure if DL counts this as a reissue or if they can make the change without a reissue.
