Curious what fare class Crackerpup was able to book those tickets into. At $313 for NYC-CVG/SDF, I would have to imagine LUT. OP here is seeing very little L and no U or T availability. I'd hold out and wait for them to open up availability as was mentioned farther up thread. If T opens up, however, I'd jump on it, as crackerpup makes good points. I don't think you're going to see them revise down the prices of U or T fares, but they're probably going to make them available (or at least get L on both directions).
