That is what I thought too... it gets better.. the flights that I am getting with the package are direct flights... these flighs are pricing at $1570... called northwest and she said they are charging fully fare because it is less than 7 days... she said cheaper fares were not sold out, but because of the late booking she couldn't sell them. That is insane!!!

One more question.. is there a mileage bonus for booking a package?
