Al,
I have (had) tickets for COMDEX in 10 days! America West will allow you to fly standby on the original travel date-FOR A "PROCESSING FEE" based on your destination. I just rebooked my tickets so I had confirmed seats and luckily there were still some seats. The fare was only about $25 more than the cost of the original ticket plus the "processing fee"!

I had several "free tickets" left with this folks too, but you can kiss those bye-bye!!

Hope you and Sue have a great time in San Fran!
