Mackieman, hope your father-in-law surgery goes well and a wish for speedy and full recovery.

Those offsprings don't have LV luggage, do they? :p

Hope the surgery goes well. And a quick recovery.

On a happier note, my wife also had an interview with a school district in the AUS area. They basically told her that she could have any of the four or five positions they have open. So she's pretty much guaranteed a job after we move. ^ to that.

Very sorry to hear that.

Do I even have the slightest chance of actually finding 2 F reward seats on CO between SFO and EWR? I'm looking at a Wednesday afternoon (12:50p departure) on a 753.

I never tried to redeem a domestic F award.

This would actually just be at the end of our honeymoon trip and not a separate domestic F reward (although, I guess it doesn't make a difference). Right now, we're on SFO-MEM-EWR because none of the CO flights have F availability. Since I've never had to search reward availability between SFO and EWR, I'm just curious to know what the experiences of others have been.

I've only done it as part of a connection to an international award. I could never find availability on CO, so almost always would end up finding domestic F segments on NW. Rare exception was IAH-LAX on my RTW. In the wake of Teh :rolleyes: Flu, there was tons of availability on IAH-LAX in F, even on a Sunday Afternoon. ^

I'm not sure if you're still looking to make any changes, but if you're interested in dropping your CZ flights, NW seems to have opened a lot of TPAC availability between NRT and SFO.

Could you redeem as F but confirm in coach , would you get the higher status on the waitlist ?

Considering that the RTW desk rep practically begged me not to make any more changes (apparently there had been 20+ fare recalcs, which played havoc with the rates desk's attempts to do recalculations)... I think I'll leave it be. :D

Besides, I like the idea of a new carrier, semi-obscure FM line (LAX-CAN-ICN), and the CZ hard-product on the 772 looks passable.
