Hmmm... how did I miss this the first time 'round?
In any case, you would not have been spending 100K or even 120K, because the date I chose (Nov 6, if I recall correctly) was intentionally chosen because there was no *A availability on the route and dates I selected.
I got one earlier [a "g" fare] this year from my travel agent and I have no affiliation with the travel industry.
Get one after July 1, 2009 and then we'll talk.
