Need to get US segments this week...
So i had things laid out to be able to take advantage of the US promo to get to Chariman's with 40 segments. But, one of my trips this week cancelled on me and since i work on a tight schedule, I need to recoup these segments. I lost five on this trip and would like to find an inexpensive replacement trip this week to replace those. Any ideas, leaving out of MCO or TPA, that can get me about 6 segments THIS WEEK.. I know it is last minute, but willing to do what it takes to make this happen. Not concerned about destinations at all, just want to get something fast and CHEAP....

You can fly MCO-CLT-PHL-ISP+reverse on wednesday for six segments (with Express segments --> Dash-8 and CRJ) if you feel like wasting a day (depart mco 5.37 and return 23.44).
Prices out a bit under $300 for a <$50 seg cost; or slightly more for 5 segments.
Not being familiar with your promotion I do not know requirements, so this may not be all that helpful (I assume express segments are ok, but do not feeling like confirming this).
Next week would be a bit cheaper if that is an option. This seems to be lowest cost searching same day destinations. ITH would also be somewhat inexpensive.

Thanks for the response. I am trying for this promo...

I know this is not favorable to a lot of long haul, devoted US elites, but I will be Diamond on DL next year and am seeking to move my current Gold DM status up a few pegs. Since I have the week off and I lost those other segments, I need to get myself back on track.

Looks like I may end up on a 4 segment trip to either CMH or PIT. I cannot find any really good overnight 6 segments for around $200. Anyone else have any ideas?
