Seems like it has come really fast.

I called CO and they show our reservations as 2A and 2B. The seatmap shows 2F which makes me think something is wrong with the automated upgrade system.

Congratulations!

I'm on an O fare. We'll see how that works out.

If it's still A7, you'll probably be ok.

Alright go ahead and start laughing at me... The person upgraded is my other half. I forgot that mileage upgrades showed up on the list. :D

The Palm serves breakfast?

Atlanta is the only one in the chain that does. They started it about 2-3 years ago and being that they're in Westin Buckhead, it seems to work pretty well. I would love to have a Palm strip steak with eggs on the side, but I got outvoted 1 to 1. I suppose this is good preparation for marriage.

I'm already flying ATL-MKE-DFW on YX to use up my YX miles before they become totally useless to get me to Texas for the August Astros Do. I had planned on just flying CO down to IAH for the weekend. However, I've got this WN free ticket I need to use before it expires, and seeing as WN doesn't serve ATL, and I really don't know when I'll have a chance to use it, I looked to see what I could do to get me from DAL to HOU on August 15, instead of just flying CO. But a simple DAL-HOU roundtrip is boring and a terrible waste of a free ticket. And, as WN flies to a number of airports I've never been to, is it totally crazy of me to do the following?

Thursday: ATL-MKE-DFW on YX, spend the night in Dallas (which was going to happen anyway; I need the stay at a Marriott to help complete a promotion)
Friday: DAL-STL-CMH (new airport)-STL-HOU on the free WN ticket; get to Houston in plenty of time to have dinner and hang out with friends that evening; get in two more Marriott nights to wrap up my stays needed for the promo
Saturday: Beer/Tacos/Astros Do
Sunday: Fly back to DAL/DFW on CO; get a Starwood stay in
Monday: Make the return on YX to ATL -- and then get on a plane a few hours later to BTR for work

Am I totally insane?

The good thing is I'll only pay for the IAH-DAL/DFW flight on Sunday, and I'll get another 10,000 Marriott bonus points, plus a bunch of Starwood points, plus use up some YX miles and a WN ticket that otherwise would probably go to waste.

Yes, but it is our type of insane. Have fun with it. Bring a couple books and relax.

Of course not.

Though, asking this question in the box will yield biased answers. :D

Not even close. You're doing multiple things that you love (flying, new airports, Do), and nowhere close to a good number of residents of this planet can say that.

I read through your list looking for something I thought was insane and I came up with nothing. Go for it! ^
