An integer overflow perhaps? Or just revenue management working as intended

The AQD trumps a used E175.

I haven't been on FT much lately, but I saw a thread the other day saying how ridiculous AC's pricing has been of late. Now I know what they were talking about!

As long as you get equity ownership in the plane, I think the price is acceptable.

SQL integer max value is 2147483647.
A coincidence?

Think of all the miles you'd earn if you charged it to your CC...

But you wouldn't be flying business class to any ol' destination. You would be flying business class to PHL. Worth it!

This is just a clever way for AC to introduce "rollover AQD"

My boss (he doesn't have as many e-upgrade credits as me) experienced this on Tuesday of last week. Upgrade LHR-YOW was offered at the same price, but in British Pounds!

So, does this guarantee you SE status for the next 1,000 years then?
