Eh, be happy it's not a boyfriend.

But seriously, isn't this precisely what girlfriends (plural) are about?

They are all $1069 now. All these seats were purchased in two days? That doesn't sound right to me at all. Again, I'm no expert, just someone who looks at this logically as an outsider.
Madonna concerts sell out in one hour....I am just saying.

tommy, I haven't been following the promo....is it over now. And if so, have you noticed if the cheaper fares have now come back into 'play'?

I think we can all agree that if the cheaper seats are sold before you can get to them during the promo, and thus only higher fares are left for sale, why then is that so VERY often I see the lower fares re-appearing, say a week or 2 later?

Yes, I do believe that there are some legitimate savings when these promo codes appear.

Yes, I do understand that the cheaper fares are quickly scooped up during the sales.

No, I do not believe that so many of these cheaper fares on so many different flights, but within a similar travel window, can be so quickly sold out when I have been monitoring them so ardently before/after the promo codes are announced.

No, I do not understand then, why so many cheaper fares then reappear AFTER the promo codes are finished. Cancellations? Sure, but across all so many flights that I'd been monitoring?

So, tommy, if you're still here, have you noticed the cheaper fares returned after the promo has ended (give it a week or 2 or 3).

Sham me once, shame on you, AC. Sham me twice? Shame on ME.

I completely forgot about this. Just checked same details and now it costs $1177. Unfortunately what really adds to the costs are the UK fees - $161. I though I read they have already gone up this year or are going up later this year. LHR is an expensive airport to deal with it seems.
