Keep in mind that if you're flying from IAH, your turn around time is only 1:25. And since CO usually swaps the two 772s at NRT, if your flight from IAH is a bit late, you can miss your return.

This is why I'm trying to get as much info before the 24 hour mark!! :)
Thank you, btw!

I don't think you will get a passport stamp if transiting (which is actually good on a same day turn as close as this one).

Wow, it looks like they really are aligning themselves more and more with UA.

I can't make a decision on this one. I'm having a hard time finding dates that work with our schedules that the nonstop NW flight is available, and we'd really prefer not to deal with flying ATL-SEA-IAH-NRT on the outbound journey, especially considering that it either means spending the night at both SEA and IAH, or doing a SEA-IAH red eye. And we'd have to waitlist for the upgrades, as I can't find much of anything during the summer when we have dates available where CO has released the upgrade inventory.

Thanks. I'll have to stop by when I am in the area.

The story that I shot and edited is online now.

if they were going to implement this, I would not think twice about booking tickets, because you can't lose.

Looking at June, and so far not finding any dates with upgrade availability. I'd be more inclined to book if I didn't have to waitlist for the upgrades and take that gamble.
