Just booked mine too, so everything is working fine now. This is also the first year in a while where we don't need to participate in open registration either, so I can 'relax' until the hotel lottery and Funko Fundays tickets.

Options from DC are terrible this year. Looks like I might be looking elsewhere for the first time. :(

Excited that at least several of you are able to book flight already!  Very cool that some of you can take care of badges & flights before Thanksgiving!

Holy cow I normally have been paying $400+ for tickets to fly out to San Diego and just bought them for $195 round trip! To make it even better I had enough points so it cost me $11 total  :o

My round trip from here is considerably cheaper than the other airlines, now just need to monitor the prices to see if they drop further to get moneys back :)

From the SF bay area there are some nice $59 (each way) fares from San Francisco and San Jose. Oakland has lots of $69 fares as long as you avoid returning on the Sunday. (Still seeing the "booking window" error from time to time.)

Went ahead and bought some tickets even though we don't know about badges yet. Just have to remind myself that window for reusing the money starts from when I purchased.
