I get the urge every now and then ... In April, I went to Hawaii to buy coffee. CO cancelled a couple flights back to the mainland and all flights became oversold for the next 3 days... So I went to NRT (always travel with your passport) stayed the night in the crew hotel and flew nonstop back to MSP the next day all in biz class. I would do it more often if I had someone to go with... I work 12 hour shifts so only three days a week and my better half (the airline employee) is comuting mon-fri to ATL. Kudos to CVG2LGA this is a tough time of year to travel.... I looked yesterday 12/29 and everything was oversold by double digits!
