Sweet Sue - I'm concerned too but can't even start looking until 4 months out, my calendar for work needs to be more finalized. I saw that last year - had to really work it to get just one stop (no such thing as a non-stop from SFO) and I'm a firm believer in never flying with more than one stop but might have to this year, who knows....

I do know I managed to get the one stop in Miami and use 60,000 miles for a First Class ticket when I booked last summer. We shall see how it goes this year...I'm hoarding those miles just in case...

Oh, and I might be in the running with you on the Queen of the cheap flight - I haven't "paid" for a flight to JA in over 10 years, probably close to 15...
