Things sure are screwy right now in the airline industry.
Yes, sometimes discounted BF seats are the way to go without using miles
from certain fares. The good news is these discounted BF seats yield good EQMs and also are confirmed at time of booking and no waiting around till last minute.

You may want to hold a seat on CO.com, then call the support desk and see if they can help you lower the fare using a combination of ecomony fare/miles or leave it at the discounted BF fare.
