So looking at plans for possibly getting out of BNA tomorrow, before the brown stuff hits the round osculating device(or the white stuff hits the ground)
originally scheduled for Friday at 1p on US

Big appointment,tomorrow afternoon that doesn't look as if it can be changed(major reason for trip out) but believe we can finish up and make it to airport for a 5:15pm US flight with seats showing as available.

Does US offer same day(24 hr period) stand-by at no charge?
There is a UA flight at 6:25 as well, what are chances US would send me over to UA a day early?
I don't see any weather waivers on anyone's site yet

WN has a 6:55 that I guess I could just buy a one way on.

Just trying to figure all options. Need to be back in RDU by Sat noon and it certainly doesn't look as if Fri is going to be worth-a-d@mn for going BNA-CLT-RDU and Sat doesn't look any better

I've got a trip to LON and one to AMS booked. I still have 200k I need to burn by the end of Feb and am trying to find a good redemption.

I have already burned most of mine and have enough left for a coach redemption to Hawaii, plus a little bit. Rather than let the miles go orphan after I drop from Plat to GM, I figured I would just take another trip to Hawaii next month and burn the remaining miles.

Is it possible to mix reward classes on a single trip, i.e., one way business, one way coach?

I've had no luck redeeming for SQ F via DL. Every thing I ask for has no availability on SQ.

MH is an interesting idea. The EWR flight is gone, so i'd have to do LAX-TPE. Can you redeem on the CPT-EZE flight? :D

I see I've ended up on your short list. What did I do to deserve that? :D

Ill check my inventory and see what I can find for you.
The MH kit is pretty nice.

or you can redeem from one of their european routes to KUL, the CPT route is hard to find because of the frequencies, but is possible for redemption.

US even has kits? I thought they just came by with a garden hose.

Hmmm, will DL let you route to KUL via EU?

If so, that could be a good redemption, though I wonder how many miles it will eat up. The nice thing about 200k is it's two roundtrip EU runs. I definitely want to go back to BCN and I was trying to find some other place that would be fun.

I feel your pain.

The nice part is that I found out today that my customer has gove over on their alloted hours so I can't do too much tomorrow, just collect some data and wait until a PO is cut.

You should have been burning last weekend, when I snagged upper deck on the 744 to NRT and then discovered it conflicts with a speech I'm giving in Cambridge (during what's otherwise summer vacation).
