Just a thought....

Just deviate the second leg from DFW home. GT and the first leg will remain.

Same thing getting there. Deviate the first leg and meet up with the DFW-MEX leg.

Both of these you are on company time during the critical parts of the trip.

Is there anything wrong with this plan? Asking for a friend...namely me for next month.

That sounds logical and doable.

As always both legs will cancel so you will have to rebook. But your Grand transportion should remain.

Or said another way:
Only deviate the leg that ends in MEM. Do not deviate the leg that departs from TLC. This will retain the scheduled GT from the TLC hotel.

However, deviating just that one leg will cancel the entire ticket (both legs). You will have to re-book the entire ticket from TLC to your home airport using the scheduled airline and flight from the pairing.

The same option/process would apply to deviating on the front-end DH. Final deviation check-in will be available upon arrival at the gate for the connecting flight to TLC (assuming it's the same flight as the scheduled DH).

Thank you all. I am familiar with the procedure to deviate from just one leg on either end but spelling it out here is good so others can see it. I’ll report back if I have issues.

Took a taxi service that the hotel uses to MEX couple weeks ago, cost about $65 and took 50 minutes without traffic. Newer VW Jetta if that matters, no bullet proof windows 😁

Live on the edge. This would be a fun deadhead jacket for South American routes.
