Is it even worth it to status match to BD anymore?

Anyone (or a group of anyones) wanna buy a $100 raffle ticket for a top prize of $10K? That was my lunch meeting...my mother's Rotary fundraiser (which I am the MC for this year). We're trying to sell the last few tickets so we have a full prize pool and don't have to scale it down. Long story short: buy a ticket, put it in a barrel. If you are the last one out of the barrel, $10K. Every 25th ticket pulled gets reimbursed along the way.

Miles + Cash will probably be the first golden egg that gets squashed once LH gets its mitts on BD. LH already told BD not to issue Mi.+Cash awards for LH F a few months back. If you want to book Mi.+Cash (which the awards I quoted are), I would suggest doing so sooner, rather than later.

I need a sanity check
Possible Schedule For December 3rd SYD-LAX (QF A380) arrive 940 2hr layover LAX-ORD (UA 737) arrive 1748 1 hr layover ORD-MAN (BD A330) depart 1840 What are the odds on making this work? |

And remember WX at ORD can make things a cluster in December.

This is clearly my biggest concern. I am getting 2.7 cpm on bmi, but only if I leave that day.
ETA: Don't forget if it's looking dicey once at LAX that you might be able to pull off a switch to NZ's LAX-LHR service, if you get a persuadable UA agent. |

Indeed. NH F was available from both IAD and ORD for the February dates I wanted. However, I wasn't willing to risk missing my shot at NH F due to a WX misconnect, so LAX it is (despite the shorter flight).

Does anyone find the "roadies running an airline" commercial for Nextel as funny as I do?

I rate it lower than that, closer to 50%. You have to get from the normal terminal at ORD to the International terminal for the BD flight. If everything goes perfectly you'll barely make the flight. If anything goes wrong you miss. If there is a backup UA routing through LHR that will cover you then I'd give it a try, but I wouldn't count on actually making that ORD-MAN flight.

IAD has nowhere near the sort of bad winter weather that one sees at ORD or the New York airports.
