Wow, it's been years since I've seen only 54 pax on a peak commute hour flight. Only 74 on the preceding flight. That's nuts. But it's great for an early AM nap.

To get the $69 fare on today's flight you would have had to buy the ticket June 3 afternoon through June 7. Before and after that it was $128. As the weeks go by more people will have had a chance to pay the $69 fare, so loads should pick up.
