Sorry for the delays. Thanks for the help everybody. Based on DeltaFlyers help, I am going to simply go for the earliest MEM-SEA flight with hopes of getting it and if not, hope I can get out via SLC or MSP.
I will probably need to ask this on a different board (new at this) but does anyone know (or can offer an opinion) the best days to do this? I would think Tues and Wed would be best and stay away from Sunday and Monday. But what do I know!
Sponge: I think this is a pretty new thing for FX and Delta and it wasn't communicated very well. We happened upon it. It is $50 OW or $100RT Domestic plus all the fees. I think it's available to all EXPRESS employees.
Please forgive me, but what is ZED?
I'm sure it is some sort of fare designation, but we carry boxes!

Thanks again
