That looks good. You're allowed one open jaw and one stopover. Remember that under the CO rules for awards, departure from JFK and return to EWR counts as an open jaw.:rolleyes:

:td: :td: That's right up there with the extra miles for TPAC segments on CO.

And, why am I not tired at 2am? :rolleyes:

I also heard that it was being run weight restricted for cargo. If that really is the case one has to wonder how long it will run.

Oh, and it seems to have developed the UA bug of being punctually late. It left three hours late on Sunday.

WWTBD?

I have to go to SAN in a week for Comic-Con and I have two options.

1) Fly EWR-SAN-EWR on CO. This is a bit on the pricey side as all that is left is B.

2) Fly EWR-TPA and then bundle a TPA-IAD-DFW-SFO-ONT-SFO-LAX-PHL-TPA trip in it and get off at PHL. Amazingly, this ends up being cheaper then the first option, though it doesn't get me on the west coast until about midnight and then a two hour drive to SAN.

Thoughts?

CO History Video
 
This was posted on an employee website, and a friend sent me the link. It is small, but still a good history of CO.

Enjoy :)

BTW, it is frigging hot in Fort Worth this week.

What's the difference in price? What about EWR/PHL-LAX?

The diff ends up being about $100, nothing major.

The TPA-ONT run is appealing as my BD year just reset so I can start working on that and with one of those, i'm 50% there.

I haven't looked at EWR/PHL-LAX though LAX isn't high on my list as I have to rent a car and I hate dealing with that at LAX. Though, worth a look.

For $100 more I'd probably take the B and hope for an up... It saves a 2hr drive and you don't get in at midnight. Then again, if you really need the BD miles...

In other news, I think I'm going to grow a mustache and a mullet and
get a job at chick-fil-a.

DL's hubris will heavily contribute to their demise.

Morning, Box.

I'm only considering it because:
citing artistic differences
the band broke up in May.
And in June reformed without me
