[QUOTE=J.Edward;12297291] That said, cjermain anything north of 3k is a bit too rich for my taste (yours of course my vary) but I'd suggest taking a long look at the competitors, even if it meant a stop in Europe. [\QUOTE]

I'd agree... paying an extra $1000+ to avoid a stop seems excessive. But to some it might be worth it, especially since it means that you can't misconnnect in Europe or the Middle East.
