Its the begining of the honeymoon. I dont think the wife would like that too much or I would do it.:rolleyes:

BTW, is there a crystal ball in the building tonight? If so, what are my chances of an upgrade on CO-211 on 6/26 EWR-IAH? I noticed a lot of names were added to the upgrade list throughout the day but dont understand how unless they are mileage upgrades?

Ugh - I only have 1 more free weekend between now and my wedding. Unfortunately, the cheap UA fare to HNL is not available that weekend. :(

FWIW, it looks like I'm going to miss my upgrade on 211 tomorrow... I'm #2 right now and the front is booked full.

Enjoy your honeymoon! ^

Are they also on the flight standby list? That would make them non-revs. Or they're connecting from Asia. We're within the 24-hour check-in window for the Thursday Asia flights that would connect to that flight, such as the BOM, DEL and TLV arrivals.

I see very very few weekends available. On the plus side, the HNL-KOA-SFO-EWR routing looks fun.

You guys have a great time with honeymoon and wedding! We just got done with the whole show and I'm fairly depressed that I have no more reward travel to tinker with.

I'm surprised there are any weekends based on the fare rule posted in millage runs.

Oh this is so tempting but no job and wanting the miles going to CO which means having to wait until November. :mad:

I'm thinking a trip to HNL in Feb/Mar when the winter here is awful is a good time to go. :D

I thought about that, but I'm still really hoping that I don't live anywhere near EWR by Feb/Mar. :)

Where's your sense of adventure. IRROPs on UA can be fun.

Not too shabby, particularly with the HNL-SFO-LAX-ORD-EWR routing on the return.

Oh, and Mariano Rivera might get an at bat in a couple minutes. :eek:
