And, for whatever reason, FCM offers are always stupid expensive for me until I get within 7 or so days of my trip. My FCM offer for an April 4th SEA-DTW leg is currently showing $638 but typically drops to $375 the week of. Still not a great deal though.
Interesting. When I said two-leg, I suppose I should have said 4. My outbound is two legs with a 4 hour layover. I am always curious as to if/when I would see a FCM offer that would qualify as a 'check-in special' in terms of value, but it sounds like you're seeing this level of 'deal' within 7 days. Interesting. I'll keep an eye on it.
