None, he decided it was :rolleyes: to fly WN and chose to fly CO.
CO won't even sell you LBB-ABQ without a bunch of hassle. And the point was to do this with as little outlay of cash as possible, and to use up a WN Rapid Rewards ticket that would go unused otherwise. |

So, how many flights did ssullivan manage to put together to fly one way LBB-ABQ on WN, all within the states of Texas and New Mexico? And how many different airports are involved?

Trivia question of the day. First person to nail the correct answer gets a beer on me at the next Do we're both in attendance at.
ssullivan needs to fly LBB-ABQ. ssullivan has a WN Rapid Rewards ticket expiring soon he'd like to use. WN says "We don't have any standard award tickets available for a one way LBB-ABQ trip on your date, but you're welcome to redeem two one-way coupons for that trip on a Freedom Award. ssullivan says no way and researches other options. ssullivan gets creative with searching LBB-xxx and xxx-ABQ, where xxx is another WN city in Texas, and finds standard awards available in both directions. So, how many flights did ssullivan manage to put together to fly one way LBB-ABQ on WN, all within the states of Texas and New Mexico? And how many different airports are involved? My guess is LBB-AUS-HOU-DAL-SAT-ELP-ABQ |

I imagine it was something close to LBB - DAL - HOU - AUS/SAT - ABQ. That junk in the middle is mostly interchangable.
Not looking for exact routing, just a count of flight segments between LBB and ABQ. Hint: It's more than two, and less than ten. |

Morning Box! It's actually good to be out of the Iowa corn fields and back home in NJ.
I see The Box has been rather :rolleyes: at keeping up with our FM recently... :p |

Yeah, I was rethinking something like that when I remembered that I hadn't thrown ELP into the mix. If you got a leg to CRP or something in, I will buy you the beer because, seriously, wow.

Seven legs, throwing MAF into the mix.

No MAF, and wrong number of segments. I'm not quite that good! Edit: It should be clear by this point that I am unemployed and it is still too early for anyone to have posted new job openings yet. :rolleyes: |
NW just comped me to Platinum, but it is only valid until March 2010. :td:
