Looking for YS ex-WAS to anywhere Warm! :)

Hello All,

I'm looking for WAS to SoFla or Caribbean on miles leaving today or tomorrow and returning the 17th. Here's what I've got:

DL: 60000
US: 30000
UA: 30000
MR: 50000

I'm looking for YS, <5hr incl connections, leaving today/tomorrow returning the 17th.

Not sure if there's a better place to post this; if there's a place where people post their finds or is the best place to post this kind of query, I am open to award booking services also, PM and we can talk.

Just doing a quick check, seems most flights are either full, almost full or oversold due to all the weather issues. You probably won't find much

not only are there weather issues, but its a holiday weekend and many schools are off next week.

What about Mexico City...? IAD-CLT-MEX 7am tomorrow landing in MEX at 12:50pm, first class for 30K UA + $80.
Return MEX-ORD-DCA Monday, economy class for 14.5K BA (transfer MR to BA) + $64

Or, you can go crazy and go to Brazil!:
Tonight, 10:10pm IAD-GRU/GIG, business direct 47.5K Aeroplan (transferred from MR) + $24.50
Return Monday 7:40pm, GRU/GIG-IAD, economy direct 30K United + $124.63, landing in IAD at 6:40am

Flight is actually IAD-GRU-GIG, so IAD-GIG is a "direct" with no change of planes though you have 1.5 hours on the ground in GRU both ways. Looks rainy in Rio and possible rain in Sao Paulo this weekend though :(

Longer than you were asking for, but one of the few I see available to leave tonight, so you don't lose time at destination.

I'm going to Mexico City tomorrow: http://first2board.com/thedealmommy/...co-aqui-vengo/

United non stop both ways using USAir miles.

Thanks everyone!

So I just got back from Rio, and did the ex-GIG on UA biz, lie flat was nice. RIO temps are overshooting it, like 100F 100% humidity. I considered MEX but couldn't find the flight, ended up x-ferring 10,000 MR -> DL and did RT LHR. It's not much better temperature wise than DC but there's no snow on the ground and it's a direct flight. Already caught a show ;)
