And Toronto??

The cost:
Tommy Class Emergency Exit 1999 (middle seat blocked)
Tommy Class 1799 (middle seat blocked)
Coach 1199

Lots of people drinking the coolaid or smoking the ganga. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GjmJHS8aYg

Well presumably some see value in the business and Tommy Class seats as those are sold out.

And apparently they are going to lower the price of the economy seats.

And I do see value in getting a pile of airline miles and top Marriott status for 14 or so months.

The problem, imho, is that visiting a luggage factory seems like a total bore. And if I want to look at an airplane graveyard, I can do that on my own. YYZ, TUS, SFO...been there/done that. An A321 (vs. the 787 last time)...meh.

So there is not much that seems 'once in a lifetime' about this one. Maybe that's the issue?

Now, the false-starter Brazil MegaDo with a waterfall flyby...I'd have been on that sucker in a heartbeat. ^

In any case, I am very interested to see what the guys come up with on the 3rd...although I wonder if they have considered that a LOT of their potential customers will be on vacation/traveling next week...?
