The computer limitation that drives me insane is being unable to move XX days in the middle of a group when it doesn't break any days-off rules. Say I have 5 XX days and want to move the middle 3 into another legal block. Can't do it in just 1 PCS run because you get a false illegal days message. You can only move groups of days touching the ends of your XX days, once that exposes the original middle days you can move those originally intended middle days, then you can reset the original days on the end caps. What should take 1 PCS run takes 3, and there's the chance that those blue days will turn black while you're farting around getting around the technology. This flaw bit me hard in December when my blue days turned to black in the midst of this IT buffoonery.

I've got a few days off in a row next month and really wanted to go to Chiang Mai, but I feel like I need at least 4 travel days for that trip which would eat up too many of my days off -- plus can't get there on DAL metal which removes a warm fuzzy from the nonrev picture. Was thinking perhaps Tokyo as I've never been there, any recommendations on the min days to spend there as well as a best departure city to assure Delta 1?
TIA
