Tentative dates are during the week of 3/24. I am not doing this for "miles-sake" I actually need to be in these places, but I am flexible and can run this backwards.

The EWR-SAN leg was pricing at around $210 or so on HP. Then SAN-FLL (via PHX) was also pricing at about $200. But the flight "home" FLL-EWR is pricing at $589 ($599 for MIA), and it *does* have Q/T availability.

Here's a sample of the start of an acceptable itinerary, actually pricing at $428.50 *AS IS* which is basically two one-ways.

As I see it, the problem child is tagging a the reasonably priced FLL-EWR (CO/NW) leg onto here.

Is it something to do with the fact that up to this point it is an all HP itinerary? becuase all of a sudden it just throws that $589 one-way FLL-EWR segment in there.


PS I should mention that I *DO* realize that this is "spring break" week and school is out, and the 31st is Easter. If nothing else, it's a great time for a voluntary bump
