What can you do to protect yourself and travel partner in a situation like this.</font>
Simple enough...
if you're going to book 2 tickets separately, then open up two windows to CO.com, get them both to the point where you can verify the ticket prices for both itineraries, then purchase.
I've heard tale of fares jumping up during the buying process... but at this point, they should remain constant. Anyways, your chances of this happening [to you] more than once?
