a few observations: the topic of this thread has been discussed numerous times elsewhere. still, instead of the usual annoyed responses about repeated threads, there is alas a further outpouring of displeasure with the tango fares to asia (which I echo).

"AC Top Tier" clearly follows this forum closely judging by their rather calculated responses to safe topics that are sure to garner positive replies. I hope they are monitoring comments on this thread, as it seems many (including myself) will be echoing these sentiments with our wallets in 2012.
