Thx.

My pleasure. Yep, you're right. 5 RT tickets. Sometimes FP's are a great bargain, sometimes not...

At this rate, you are paying $2000 CDN RT in economy. you'd be paying close to $3k ($2882 CDN to be exact) for a seat in business class. Plus lat = no change fees...

OH: And welcome to FT

EDIT: Dorian's post below is helpful too. I haven't priced anything in USD...
