Actually I made the post to see if there's relief from the pricing, not really to complain. I kind of understood the "no competition = high price" thing, but as I've only recently (in the last year) begun to fly at a rate of 100,000+ miles per year, I've actually not run into this kind of fare, where it's way out of whack. So I did get a bit of a sticker shock. In any case, I've been told of a few ways around the $1264 - all around $500 ish, not as good as $300, but at least within the realm of plausibility.
I've been told that Austin is nice this time of year.
