We often grab a flight that is not our preferred flight, but one we can live with if absolutely necessary, and then wait to see if better flights come up available, which they often do. We did that again for flights in June this year. We'll see if we get lucky again. And actually one time when we were in St. Maarten, we were able to change our flights to a day later than our original flight coming home, which gave us an extra day of vacation!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
