I had 4 tkts JFK-MAD, over Thanksgiving, lined up at $238 and set to purchase. I had, had to get on a phone call (how business interferes with travel is terribly disconcerting). I returned to book through and the 238 seats are gone, all that is left is about $500. Tried multiple times, all gone for that weekend. I'm not a happy camper.

Same here for 5 x PDX-GVA for $365.
I went by phone to confirm with my kids for the dates, and see the price before my eyes jump to $614.

Unfortunately I wasn't snoozing, just too late by being on the "Left Behind Coast"

!

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time I remember a NW deal like this came along was a year ago, when I was lucky enough to book some dirt cheap transat tix thru NWA/JP website.
