I'm flying to Phoenix from DFW for 2 weeks in July and do not want to take any chances.

Since I am using miles, the flight only cost $11 so adding the trip insurance did not make my flight expensive.

At least DFW/Phoenix is hub to hub so there are lots of flights.

Going out I change planes in Albuquerque and returning I change planes in El Paso. Picking one stop flights lowered the number of points I had to use.
