Well, I finally pulled the trigger in the SJO Special. I was able to nest LAX-EWR-SJO-EWR-LAX between a PHL-LAX-PHL business trip in September.

The cost, including the CO Mastercard discount for "Z" came to $745. A lot of EQMs here.

Before purchasing it gave me an option. I could fly the same itinerary in coach and pay $780.15
