Also got a great price on E+ return from PAR-LHR-MSY on our soon to begin LHR to MSY direct. I gave him the option of traveling via MIA in E (no cheap E+ option on that flight) or via DFW on E+ with the understanding that delays are more likely that way. He chose the more comfortable flight and will risk it. He is 21 years old and can certainly handle it.
