There's no same day turn on PDX - ATL - PDX, correct?
That wouldn't be too bad of a mileage run at about 4.5 cents/mile. Ha -- don't even bother to price SEA - PDX into any of these trips.
I do really like this idea. Well done, AS!

Thanks for the heads up. I managed to get in on a PDX-DCA-PDX for $99 each way. I'll go visit some of the museums I skipped last time I was there.

These really need to be communicated better. I have tickets already pdx-msp during the travel period, but a lower fare would have been great. I can't afford to sit at my computer and refresh the AS site every half hour every day to catch these things.

I'm not even sure if this was available via the main website. I saw it from Twitter and reposted it here.

For me (and I might be in the minority), but I'm not a tweeter and don't use Twitter. Facebook I check once or twice a day. Being 'connected' with technology is one thing, being joined at the hip with it is something else.
The link you had took me to AS.com, so have to think it appeared there, too, on their front page. Email still works, so why not notify flyers/customers that way?
