Let me know what you think!
I think the advantage of the passes is that they are changeable allowing greater flexability.
Almost all USA carriers sell competitive one-way tickets now especially in markets were you have LCCs. The LCCs like Southwest and ATA and Jetblue and Spirit are alternatives but I prefer often earning SK EB miles on UA and US. US markets themselves as a LCC now.
Southwest has a hub at BWI where Icelandair usually has offers to from Sweden. UA has their LCC Ted from ORD if you get a good SK deal. Another alternative is to book an open jaw where allowed and fly to the east coast and then home from west coast. LH and BA or VirginAtlantic work well for this.
Well, the alternatives are many.
