Boredwlife, if you're not to busy freezing your butt off up north how was the PDX commute? Alaska stopped the direct to FLL correct?
PDX commute is pretty hardcore on reserve. I would take the 520am USair to PHX and then I had 3 direct to get to FLL, never commutable day of but commutable going back if the trip was done by noon. Not sure what it is now. You could always go through vegas. PDX to ATL then down is the best route, but the 6am PDX to ATL flight was/is ALWAYS oversold with Jumpseaters.
The problem is the two legs with the 3 hour time change. Vegas would be so easy it would be laughable. Commutable on both sides easily.
