The interactive reward chart specifically lists French Guiana as one of the Northern S. America countries, so perhaps they took this routing into account already.
Don't forget that you get a free stopover on a reward, so you can actually do two of the cities on the Carib run on a single ticket. With a bit of planning you could probably do a pretty entertaining routing with connections from FDF west and then looping back through to go south before heading back to MIA, where we'd connect back onto CO for our flights home.

CO.com can't search the route. Shocking.

Also, since when is it spelled "Guiana" instead of "Guyana"?
Since CO decided to spell it that way on its interactive reward chart.

What am I missing. There's other stuff that goes on in this Forum beyond The Box?

SeatCounter (Don't Have KVS with me at the moment) is showing that the only published Fare Buckets on this route are:

A E G K L N S V Y

E, G and N show zeroed out on most dates, which leads me to believe those are the award classes.

All of a sudden, the GPS on my iPhone thinks I'm in Zeist.

You don't know for sure? Good God, man, did you get a Tail-Number? The horror!

Looks like the Houston Public Library has full OAGs going back to when I was born. I think I might spend some time after exams are over grabbing some beers and ensuring that my FlightMemory is 100% accurate as to equipment types.

Anyone know if the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in D.C. has kept tail-number records aside from the ones you can get on their website (the top-10 domestic carriers by volume since 1995)? I'd consider taking a trip up to D.C. if one of our Federal Agencies has accurate tail-number records for all commercial flights into and out of the U.S. That stuff has gotta be on microfiche somewhere.

Can I put in a few requests? Just a few flights in the early 80's. I promise.

If they have such records in D.C., sure thing. I imagine I might be able to talk CO 1E into downing a few beers and hitting the microfiche machines with me.

Probably the toughest Tail Numbers for me to get, if I can ever get them, will be my Domestic flights in Mexico from the 80s, as well as my Domestic Honduran flights in 1999. I imagine Europe probably has some Bureaucracy that would cover my European flights from 2002-Present.
