My first post in MR deals. Recently enamored with CO and their service I think this is a decent deal for Calgary skiing or Tampa for sunshine.
Books in L Class
Available to end of Feb 09
My routing for above costs:
YYC-SEA-EWR-TPA
TPA-EWR-IAH-YYC
Lots of other routing possibilities. (DTW for instance)
I hope I did okay for my first MR post. If not, please educate me. After lurking for years I'm still nervous about posting here.
Great find. I only need to get to TPA. May do this trip next weekend.

Has CO joined Star Alliance yet? Or, are they still in the process of joining?

The word on the CO board seems to be by the end of the year.

Still in the process. Probably Q3/Q4.

Finally found a route through DTW to add another 500 miles but didn't pull the trigger. My other half thinks I'm a little crazy but who wouldn't want to getaway to FL for a few days?

Routing through DTW will put you on NW metal and likely kill the earning rates thanks to the 50% EQM issues. Be careful with that.

FWIW, I found YYC-IAH-EWR-TPA in both directions. I don't know if it can be "stretched" more than that.
Good find to the OP. Wish I could take advantage - but billykid123 is keeping me grounded for a while these days.

Hi, being so new to all of this, can you help me understand where you found the above listing, and then, how do you go about booking a particular fare basis?
I have been reading lots of threads for MRs, and am getting more confused by the minute as to how to actually book the fares once I have found them on Farecompare etc.
Thanks!

Go to a website and search for the lowest price, and it will pop up. If it doesn't, call the airline itself and request the fare basis (assuming it is still available). Generally, if it is appearing on ITA, it's still available.

Yup, sadly.
I hope CO comes back with another good fare ex-YYC, like the New York fare 2 years ago for $198 all in.
