You're absolutely right. In a perfect world I'd be able to:
1. Get there for the lowest price co.com will price the ticket for my dates - $350 or so.
2. Get there early on Friday and return early on Sunday.
3. Get full EQM/EQP for the flight.

I've got a free award ticket on SW that I could use (and their schedule is perfect for me) but I'd rather earn some miles for the trip and give the SW award to a family member.

I appreciate all the advice and will keep checking the multpile destinations search and see if any lower fare buckets open up between now and then. Thanks all.
