MCI-PBG with a Shuttle segment (which the website gives you with some options when I looked) will get you all four on one itinerary.
Operated by Republic (or any Express carrier) should be fine, many of the new routes that get bonuses (PBG and BTR for example) are operated by Express carriers.

More ???'s than answers
 

OK, so lets say I book the following:

RSW-DCA-LGA

1. Can I do it and get it to count twice i.e. NA East and a Shuttle flight, or would I need to buy 2 tickets . . RSW-DCA and then DCA-LGA for it to count twice?

Thanks,

William

PHX-MBJ isn't daily and it seems it's not on the schedule (or at least not coming up in searches) from late August onward.

Anyone intending to do a same day turn from PHX has to do the redeye to CLT, then to MBJ with a frighteningly short 95 minute connection to MBJ-PHX. If you start with PHX-MBJ non-stop, it forces an overnight as it arrives at about 4pm local time, long after the flights back to CLT have left.

It started out westbound Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun and eastbound on Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon. I don't think that's changed, haven't checked though.

OK, I'm about to pull the trigger on a NYC/New Orleans wekend.

I'm looking at:
7/22 BUF-LGA (East Hop), overnight in NYC
7/23 LGA-DCA-CLT-BTR (Shuttle, West Hop, New Route Jump)
7/25 MSY-CLT-BUF

My question is, should I book this as 3 1 ways, or all as one, multi-city ticket?

Also, is the Shuttle credit automatic for LGA-DCA as part of the LGA-GCA-CLT-BTR record, or does it have to be ticketed separately (much pricier)?

I'm about to ticket my family of 4 to bump my wife and 1 son up to Gold (primarily for *A International Club access), my other son to Silver, and for myself to keep CP for another year.

All in it's about $486 a ticket, but we're also building some fun time in with NYC and New Orleans.

BTW, my biggest fear is ticketing the LGA-DCA-CLT-BTR and having an OPS or Weather issue forcing a rebooking on something that doesn't use the shuttle and thereby losing a point. Anyone else fear this?

PHX to MBJ (US 1619) operates Sat/Sun/Mon through 8/16; MBJ to PHX (US 1620) operates Fri/Sat/Sun through 8/15.

I'm doing PHX-CLT-MBJ Friday 7/23 and returning MBJ-PHX on Sunday 7/25 with an overnight in Montego Bay.

You can force connections by booking one-ways, but you're on your own if you miss the connection. This is unlikely if it's a single flight that turns around. I wonder if an overeager gate agent might offload you and replace you with a standby if you're not at the gate at the original departure time. Unlikely, but I don't know if you can rule it out.

I'm looking at something like this from DCA, but where do you see the West Hop? I think these are all on the East side.

Does anybody know if I can make it from terminal C at BOS to terminal B in 54 minutes?

Depends on the time of day, TSA and luck. Unless there is another flight an hour or two later you might get stuck there for a while. Logan has a nice club. No alcohol though.

As discussed early in this thread, BTR is West.

DCA-BTR Run
 

So I priced out DCA-LGA, LGA-CLT-BTR, BTR-CLT-DCA all in one day for around $460 on sidestep. My question, FT gurus is how many hops does this get? I think it's three. The shuttle up, the East Flight to CLT and then the flt to BTR. Do I credit for the return at all? Should I book it so I go DCA-LGA-DCA-CLT and try and get credit for the return shuttle flight?

Sorry, just noticed the West thing. Apologies. That would give me 4 with the orignial itinerary.

If its later in the day, thunderstorms could do you in...

The morning is usually better... just a person who has seen CLT at 6pm awaiting his soon to be canceled SFO!

Shuttle, East,West,New Route. Nothing for return route. But as somebody mentioned before, DCA comes cheaper with rt option.

Thanks Beckles for the reply,

I tried this route but it is coming out a bit expensive. But I think figured out a better route but I am not taking it since I have to keep my sis(east coast) in loop.

My route would have required night stay at btr or mlb.(NOT SURE RIGHT NOW WHICH ONE). Would have used AA 10% off coupon( Century in making)

Rough sketch of previous route.

MCI-SY/BTR,BTR-MLB, MCO/MLB-MCI/OMA.

Thanks,
Dracs

Do flights from the US to PVR qualify for normal preferred upgrades? If so, I assume that will be a tough upgrade on weekends until October ;)

They are mid week - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. I found one Friday if you do DCA-BOS on the outbound and one Sunday if you do DCA-LGA. You have to price through orbitz / expedia etc.

My 3 LGA-DCA (could have been BOS)-CLT-BTR flights from this weekend have posted, but the status has not yet changed. What is the expected lag time in status update for H/S/J?

Question - Do you need to go through security if you change B to C in BOS?

Also, FYI - $173 LGA-BTR same routes 7/31 and similar.

BTW, see my comments and advice on BTR overnight at post #245 on p.17.
