No DEN or SFO in the mix for the "connection" between the two?

This burns 44K of my 46K UA miles.

There are also 2 PW25's up for grabs in Coupon Connection from our last underwhelming UA experience.

To say WN is all first class is to say that Donald Trump is poor.

He ain't as rich as he claims to be, at least he is not a Billionaire. I would settle for a lonely million.

But at least WN gives you all leather seats

Give me a WN 737 over a Delta CRJ every single day of the year. For a short-haul traveler that doesn't care for international/Hawaii flights, WN offers a great FFP. If I was going to Chicago twice a week, I'd probably go with WN - an upgrade isn't a huge deal on a 45 minute flight, and two round-trips a week would get me about 8 free tickets a year, plus a companion pass which is worth its weight in gold if you have someone who travels with you a lot.

Donald Trump is one of the worst businessmen. He has a drastically overstated net worth and has spent more time in the courtroom than doing actual business. Anybody else working with the same amount of money he has had, would have made hundreds of times more.

But, on the plus side, he is living proof that Invasion of the Body Snatchers was not fiction. That thing perched on top of his head is an alien mind probe.

That thing couldn't look more fake even if it had a chinstrap

Wife & I will be averaging $91 for MSP-STL round trips much of this fall, using a companion pass & my itins already purchased on sale.

Award itins will reduce average costs even further.

You wouldn't have gotten to Alaska otherwise.

Oh so you want to pay $182 to fly WN, to fly on planes that are my age, and they develop holes the size of footballs in mid-flight, and have oxygen masks deploy? Funny, NWA has some DC9's that are 42.5 years old, that are still flying today. If NWA did the same maintenance practices that WN does, those DC9's would have 3 holes in them.

Speaking of those DC9's, I just found out today that my mom is older than some DC-9-30. Two of them are 42.5, mom turns 43 in less than 2 months.
