Wow, Gardy. AONE4 ex-SA US$5,643 and AONE3 ex-South Korea US$6,265. Both incredibly cheap. I'll still do the CPT start due to the cost and inconvenience of getting to South Korea (much easier for me to get to S.A.), but they're both excellent. Just submitted one to Dublin for overnight faring, and will try to get the next one in process later this afternoon. I don't see these lasting at these prices, but I also don't see that they can get it together quickly enough to increase fares in the next, say, 24-48 hours. Next week might be a different story, however.
