For last minute flights BA cant be beat. I dont care how many CM points you have.

Plus CM doesnt have the same easy cancellation policy you get with BA even when booked in advance.

I like the flexibility of the Avios that you dont have with CM points. Dont know about others, but  I have a hard time booking tickets in advance.
For me thats the real value. Back in my Pre DD days, by the time i was sure that i wanted to fly, the costs were prohibitive. granted, I learned a thing or two since then but still, I love the flexibility.
Valid point! Some hate to find no availability and would trade the 7 day advance booking for getting to pick the exact time and date they want.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

+1. Can't remember the last time I booked a flight more than a week out.

OTOH, i've been having a very hard time finding BA availability from BOS (to ORD, or Baltimore/Washington, or NY), and have ended up booking with CM points most usually, even when booking several weeks out.

Interesting. I never had a problem NY-BOS.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Copa airlines?
Lol.
I'm not sure myself either Chiam Moskowitz (my hunch) or Cash Money.
Either way it means $ (context)
