PB days
#11
The ultimate combined use of APD and PB days.
Just need to find a 25hr 4-day trip not on the Thanksgiving/Christmas blackout days.
And I need to find that scheduling worksheet...

You also need to carefully pick the trip depending on how many payback days you have and trip length.

I figured a 4-day would be perfect because that's the limit an APD is good for.

Short answer is yes. It won't be for this vacation year. Any unused PB days at the end of I think March become Vacation days for next year. Like I said earlier, there is a dedicated document put out by the association on how to maximize the value of the PB days. The very lowest value they have is to be converted to vacation days.

Or you can find a trip with high block on day one, say Hawaii or Europe or Vegas turn, and then drop that with one PB day, rinse/repeat over and over again till you hit WS credit max. Then you pick up a trip from swap board with high block on day one, drop it with PB day, etc. I had over a dozen PB days last year that I ended up cashing in for an avg value of 6:45.

Problem is, coverage lately isn't reliably adequate at this point to do the strategy you've mentioned.
