US is publicizing these FANTASTIC roundtrip fares from various cities (including my own) to PHX. EWR - PHX at $129 + tax!!

However, I cannot find these fares ANYWHERE that is bookable.

I'm thinking these are actually "one way based on round trip purchase" (I hate that horrible phrase) ... but the web page clearly says "Roundtrip"....

Is anyone having better luck actually finding an EWR-PHX $129 round trip than I am????

Farecompare shows $258 as the lowest fare for EWR-PHX on US and HP, so the fares must be one way. Even though the website makes it sound like round trip.

Why the worry about a couple of bucks here and there? Getting out of EWR and into Arizona is priceless! I'd expect a $1,000 coach fare EWR/PHX and a subsidized $500 fare (Arizonans pay you to go back to EWR without moving here!) if the market was truly rational. :D

All said tongue firmly planted in cheek. Nearly all of us Zonies are transplants, but we're all trying to slam the door shut behind us. 13 years this round for us; we lived here 19 years ago before a 'round the world set of moves that landed us back here in AZ at our demand.

I'm a freak who is the other way around. I'm born and raised in Southern California so I know all about trying to get people to visit but then leave. I'm not even a transplant!

But, for various reason (job, relationship etc.), I now reside in New Jersey.

Well, Jumpgate, what are you going to fix next? Plenty of work to do!
