A potential customer would like me to sell him two of my widgets at a highly discounted price. He asks others if it it likely my prices will fall.

Uh, what was the question?

Try some of the options suggested by our creative members, or change destinations. The most successful FlyerTalkers are opportunistic predators.

The irony is that the OP is wanting to upgrade on top of it. Not a chance IMO. The EXPs that booked their tickets 329 days out might, just might, get e-sticker upgrades if F is not sold out. Then of course there are the EXPs that booked between 120-329 who will also be in front of the OP for upgrades. There are no SWU or mileage upgrades available for those dates right now.

I fully realize the difficulty in my predicament. Perhaps everyone here can explain it to my wife, however? I was hopeful of prices being different but I see that isnt possible.

Can someone please tell me about this Alaska Airlines companion certificate?
