skymiles does something right!
Jul. 13th, 2005 04:01 pmI finally finalized the flight for our trip to Playa Del Carmen in January. Our week runs from 4 pm Sat- 11am Sat with no option of staying an extra day. Using FF miles, our itenary was so - so:
Depart Saturday
Baltimore ->Atlanta ->Mexico City ->Cancun
We depart at 6AM only to arrive at 5PM barfaroni! (but its free)
Return Friday (um, not Saturday)
Cancun ->Atlanta -> BWI
Depart at 5pm, arrive at midnight.
I was holding out for a more direct flight down, and a return on Saturday. Nothing opened up by today, BUT when I called to 'purchase' the tickets, I was informed that we were waitlisted on a few other flights leaving when we wanted to, and we had priority to take those if they do become available. I doubt that they will, but there's still a chance...
Add that to the fact that Judd will hit Platinum Medallion status this year, and the accompanying possibility of an upgrade, I'm a happy girl!
