To be fair, that's what I've done for the past 9 months, but I don't expect these super-cheap I fares to stick around once demand recovers, and work requires coach, so any upfares are out of pocket.
Or sooner. Most of the markets that I bought with the 30% F&F have increased their I fares by 20% or more. I was checking for a few tickets that I still need and trying to utilize the Russell Wilson 10% and noticed a huge hike, especially in the MT markets that I frequent, which are 30% higher than what they were 2 weeks ago.
