MSP-RSW o/w FCM was hovering around $416. As is the return. $832 for domestic 739 F. Too expensive as a fare. Waaaay to expensive as an FCM.
Yesterday the outbound dropped to $170. I have a cold and a backache, and have to make this trip for meetings, so I took it. I don't imagine the return will drop in price, but I have a decent C+ seat on a 752, so I don't care very much.
Considering MSP-DEN offers have been about $106 o/w for me for a while (no meal, just a snack basket for the 90 min MD90 hop), the suddenly reduced RSW deal was Okay.
Overall, though, I've gone from accepting 4 or 5 FCMs in 2016 when they were moderately priced to I think zero last year. I had a nice rollover on top of Plat without any mileage boosts, too.
