Both of these issues might end up killing the idea. I'm monitoring the room situation, which right now is basically nonexistent (unless you want to spend $800/night on a hostel). There was an $850 ORD-SVO fare on SAS last night, which I tried to book but was told this morning was gone before they could ticket it. Let's keep an eye on things.
