Thanks for all your advice. I know that these are great business fare rates, but I can book through a consolidator site, coach fares for over $1000.00 less for AA for the same flight. On the AA site the business fare is better than the coach right now, but not compared to the other consolidator. And I can book with Icelandair for almost $2000 less. Although I would prefer nonstop. That is a lot of money I could use on my trip so I am having trouble justifying spending on the business fare, even though it is incredible! The only thing I was concerned about booking on the consolidator is that it seems you can't choose your seats and I am flying with my two children.
I wish I had been savvy enough to find this FT site a long time ago!
thanks again.
