Thank you for the information. This seems ridiculous. The difference is $243 so I guess it is not worth it. My mom is a silver with US, so I am thinking about sending an e-mail to US and just let them know that this is absurd. Just because they now noticed the flights are empty they lower the price, we only bought the tickets a 1.5 months out. I thats that about as low as the price is going to be.
