East Coast Storm May Lead to VDBs on United…I Want In!

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 4, 2010November 14, 2023 2 Comments

With final exams starting next week, I have a very busy weekend ahead. The weekend just got a bit busier, though.

I had planned to stay home and concentrate all my efforts on preparing for another round of tests, but I am tempted to book another mileage run for Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Here’s why:

(just a small sample of the many flights UA has proactively cancelled)

With no classes on Monday or Tuesday, I suppose I could try to convince myself that I would use the time at the airport to study…

Who am I kidding? Mileage runs are like cigarettes…once you start, it becomes difficult to quit (not that I speak from personal experience). And I could use some more VDB vouchers. Just one more. One more… 😉

I’ll be monitoring the weather closely tonight and tomorrow.

If you’re MRing though the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend: it’s going to be fun.
