Recently I saw LGA-ORD pop up on my homepage for something like $72 each way which isn't bad, but I'd have to come back on a Monday morning which isn't something I can easily convince my husband to do.

The NetSaavers never really strike me as "WOW THIS IS A BARGAIN" types of fares. They usually price out to something that I would've probably paid anyways if I actually had to fly that route and planned it 4 - 6 weeks in advance like I usually do. Now if they were actually "WOW THIS IS A BARGAIN" fares and especially for some international routes, then maybe I'd start to get excited.
I'd agree. What I liked to see but I doubt would ever happen are same day turns on Saturday. I could fly out to Chicago, Miami or LA and enjoy the day, LA flying back on a redeye to New York. Makes a semi MR into a nice day out of the city.
