One trip is usually April-May, the other October-November. So not high season for either cruising or skiing, I think?

I've always found it to price out pretty competitively vs. the one-stops. Since service even in Y is superior to domestic service--and the IFE is way better, if you're stuck in Y overnight and can't sleep--it's not been a tough call for me. Delta would have to come in way cheaper for me to take the narrow-body.

This odd little segment has been very useful to me over the years, and I hope it never goes away!
