Labor Day weekend in Cancun
2 SkySaver Coach CAE-ATL-CUN-ATL-CAE
Labor Day weekend
Friday morning 9/1/06 - Tues late afternoon 9/5/06
No elite status was required for this, I don't think. I have seen a lot of availability to/from CUN. Just hope the hurricane season is not as brutal as in 2005. We're planning to head inland to see the ruins and stay at a small boutique hotel.

I don't know how I missed this thread before, but about two months ago I used Skymiles for four Standard EWR-LAX on CO over Presidents Day when DL showed absolutely no Skysaver JFK-LAX availability.
I have to admit I was happy to use up the DL miles, and shocked I did it with CO.

I just scored 2 first/business class SkySaver tickets BHM-ICN-NRT-BHM for September. Last week I also scored a coach SkySaver seat BHM - GVA. I love the partner award desk and all of their efforts. I spent a total of 30 minutes on the phone both times.
And I thought that it was impossible to use my Delta miles.

Cincinnati to Maui award success over Christmas holidays~
I am very happy to report that we just redeemed 4 Skysaver award tickets (35,000 miles each) CVG to OGG 12/21/06 and returning OGG to CVG on 12/30/06. Called 331 days in advance. I received great customer service, too. Maybe Delta's great customer service is coming back.

GF got SkySaver in Y ATL-GIG-ATL with about two months notice. She was initially able to get nonstop both ways with numerous days available. Unfortunately, she had to wait for her DL Amex miles to credit to pay for the ticket, so she ended up getting ATL-GIG nonstop on DL and GIG-GRU-IAH-ATL on CO. Still a pretty good deal, though ^

I have done SLC->ATL->{Provo (twice), Santiago, Cayman} all SkySaver the past couple of years. I just recently did SLC->IAH>HNL->PHN->TKK->HNL->IAH->SLC also as a SkySaver. I had to do this one 8 months in advance though and it took some work.
However, we did not get the 1000 "bonus" for booking online the last Provo flight. I had to call and ask for it.

2 skysavers SDF - ATL - OGG on June 14 -23. Scored Row 7 E & F from ATL to OGG (with a stop in LAX) on a 764. Business class from OGG to ATL on a 763. Are these seats the ones with the 60 inch pitch??
2 skysaves SDF -ATL - PUJ on March 12 - 17. Actually departing SDF on March 11 and spending the night in ATL. I did not like the 45 min connection in ATL...I know it is a legal connection but my wife always seems to have to use the bathroom after a flight and likes to do so at a leisurely pace
ATL to PUJ is the only flight of the day. We are waitlisted on flight 6323 at 6:00 am on March 12. Anyone know the chances of this flight clearing?
