Life is often filled with comrimise.

So let me be fair to all -

The$59 biz fare - et all.

Call the airline - after posting on FT with a 7 day time limit till dropping the dime. (telling the airline)

THE SECRET LIST:
I'm against them -- unless I get added to them. How does one get on the special list?

One other possibility on the $59 fare:
A few years back a car dealer sold a 3 year old Cadillac for $100. The story came out the sales manager told his assitant to put the ad in the paper for $10,000. Somehow a couple of zeros were dropped. A buyer showed up and walked off with a perfectly good car for $100. It made the local news - print and TV.
Turns out the dealer does this about evey 3 or 4 years to boost PR for the company. That part didn't make the news. My uncle knows the dealership owner.

FINAL WORD:
I thank the people on this site for lots of help. PLATO has been a huge help. FewMiles and his info on the Unofficial AA guide informed me of the PLAT challenge. Now I earn 100% bonus miles on every flight.

I know what seat to ask for because of FT.

So all in all, the work here is good.

Thanks.
