Tried the code V383. It did not accept it and said, "Problem With Promotional Fare: The promotional fare you requested requires travel with an eligible companion." Do you know more about this promo?
I think the problem (that cased the error code) is that you requested the 2 adults as "AAA fares". Most promo codes require the fare be entered as "Adult"! (One of the few execptions is H644 currently available! ^ Most discounts can not be combined with another discount.)

I believe the fare quoted by PhilaBurbTom (of $120) was only for O/W and for 2 adults and 0 children. Computing R/T, using either #67 or 95 on the outbound and #66 on the return, I got $200 for the 4 in the party! (Use 2 adult fares and 2 children - not AAA child - fares! Using the AAA child fare will get the error message - and a higher fare!) If you return on #194, the fare is higher also.

The goldfish are free, as long as they are on a leash!
