|  playing non-rev roulette so...i made it to houston, but the seats on the 4 flights this afternoon/night have all but disappeared! The last flight still has 16 open, but there's 26 non-revs listed for the next flight (which is oversold by 6); 14 listed for the 7pm one which has 6 seats left (as of now), and 7 listed for the 9pm one with 16 seats left. i'm # 22 of the 26 right now, so keep your fingers crossed that people start giving up... or something so I can get out! |

| Re: playing non-rev roulette it's looking like i'm either going to spend the night here or fly to EWR and try to get out early tomorrow morning since those loads look better than the loads from IAH tomorrow morning |

 | Re: playing non-rev roulette If you can get to PHX on CAL by 7:40pm there is a US flight to LAS with 48 seats and 15 non revs listed. I can do up a buddy pass real fast if you need it. There are a few flights after that PHX-LAS but they don't look as good (and they are on Mesa... blah!) |

| Re: playing non-rev roulette It sounds like you are trying to non-rev on Continental Airlines. Even the people in the travel office were admittedly baffled at what happens to many CAL domestic flight loads in the last 24 hours before departure time.

| Re: playing non-rev roulette yeah - original plan last night (plan A) was to go DTW-EWR (32 open as of 10pm EST last night) and then EWR-LAS. (2 flights with 40+ seats each on them). That went to hell when that weather moved in and my 32 open seats suddenly became -4. Houston was looking promising to get to LAS until I got here, and now I'm on plan C. Looks like there's a couple of flights from PHX to LAS tonight so *fingers crossed* i'll make it there! |

Em can grab a couch here if she needs a place to sleep but she'll have to somehow find a ride and i know cab would cost at least $40 one way....the swiss guys could possibly take her down to the airport with them in the morning as they are going that direction themselves around 9am. | |

| Re: playing non-rev roulette Hey also - someone called me and left a message between 5:45 central and 6:20 PST. I think it was Matt, but chicaga said it wasn't him, so my mystery caller, either call back or leave me a number next time! |
