 <\/p>\n

Last year in September of 2012, I booked a same day mileage run for travel in July 2013. My original itinerary was LAX-MSP-CLE-ATL-LAX and I purchased it for $159 with taxes included. There were several schedule changes throughout the year and I called the Gold Medallion line to see if I could get a one day stopover in Cleveland. The agent told me that since the itinerary went through several schedule changes, she said the routing was open. My eyes lighted up when I heard that.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/a>
\nThe Sights and Sounds of Minneapolis Minnesota<\/a>
\nSheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel Review<\/a>
\nThe Sights and Sounds of Cleveland Ohio<\/a>
\nCleveland Airport Airspace Lounge<\/a>
\nThe Sights and Sounds of Atlanta Georgia<\/a><\/p>\n

I told her to route me from LAX-SLC-MSP-CLE-ATL-LAX with a one night stopover in CLE. This meant that I could actually enjoy seeing Cleveland since I will be spending the night there. \u00a0I was going to take advantage of Delta\u2019s Same Day Confirmed policy and take an earlier flight from LAX-SLC so I could spend about 6 hours there, but I decided to change my mind.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I sent a message to @DeltaAssist via Twitter to help me change my routing again. I actually wanted my original segments back because I could same day confirm for a later flight on MSP-CLE so I could spend a few hours in Minneapolis. This will be my first time to Minneapolis and Cleveland outside of the airport terminal. I\u2019ve been to Atlanta once before, but haven\u2019t seen much.<\/p>\n

\"laxclemr1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So basically I purchased this low $159 fare and will be seeing three different cities in less than 48 hours thanks to Delta\u2019s generous Same Day Confirmed policy. I love how Delta is able to confirm me for an earlier or a later flight (if space is available). I will be earning 4,658 Medallion Qualifying Miles at a rate of 3.4 cpm (cents per mile).<\/p>\n

Follow me on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> and join me on this eclectic 48 hour journey through three major cities.<\/p>\n
