you also forgot, "I will be on the road christmas day, but to an airport far away, to catch a flight that isn't going home, hoping the CA an FO are wearing santa hats (or at least one of them is), then turning around 36 hours later to go to vegas, but not sure what time, hoping space available, to then not know when I will officially be home....maybe i'll just stay in vegas forever." merry christmas.
At least only one of the three airports I'll see is located where snow exists...odds are good, but fingers are crossed
