I shouldnt tell you this cuz then there are less seats avail for me, but hey, we have a newborn now so the days of us taking this trip are kinda gone anyway:

UA... 25,000 ECONOMY
BOS-DEN-Aspen

Flight usually costs about $650 RT maybe more if you go Feb vacation.

You need to book it 330 days out or close to it, but THAT is one flight worth the economy booking!

OK, FC is 45k, so still worth it by far, but the DEN-Aspen part is not FC as the plane is little.
