two back-to-back RTs, each leg $89 in I class (discounted F)
SEA-LAX 0600 0845
LAX-SEA 0950 1243
SEA-LAX 1455 1735
LAX-SEA 1845 2135
as you mentioned, timing apparently doesn't work starting in LA, but SDC is always an option (you may have to call or email, but you *will* get credit for purchased cabin with all bonuses if you have to fly in Y)

Whatever is cheapest, yes. For me, I'll be crediting to AA so I won't be eligible for anything "loyalty" wise AS I assume. I wouldn't take him on all these trips, just the one.
No no, he has sat in premium economy front row with me several times, complains he can't see up and down the plane (he sits window, I sit aisle, and sometimes a poor soul sits between us)
With no free booze in premium economy, or even on a 1st Class Upgrade to Vegas we recently had, he doesn't see the difference between being at the back. He didn't fly much before me so he doesn't know the value in getting your carry on into the overhead bin and all the extra leg room... let alone there's usually less crying babies and crappy acting people at the front, keyword being USUALLY.
Can you elaborate? I am LAX based, but willing to route around if it means same day travel or overnight in a hotel one day only... I am seeing $89-99 routes per leg, but are you suggesting 178 gets 3 legs total?

Yea I know they NORMALLY should get those perks, but he hasn't seen them yet due to COVID. Oh wow, is the 13th for AA or AS or both? Did that flight attendant union thing finally expire? Will they be giving any of the poor coach flyers absolutely anything yet besides a baggy when you walk in the door if you're lucky?

With Same Day Confirmed, what are you saying, I book flights that nearly overlap and then attempt SDC and if they reject/are full, simply cancel that flight for credit? and hope I am not stuck in Seattle with only expensive options to return home?

ticket 1
LAX-SEA 0600 0850 $89
SEA-LAX 1455 1735 $89, SDC to 1015 1300 or 1205 1450
(again, if you have to fly PC or Y on the southbound, you’ll still get credit for the original F booking)
ticket 2
LAX-SEA 1740 2030 $89
SEA-LAX 2115 2355 $89
< NOTE 1 > — I’m looking at Wed 19 May; inventory and pricing will likely be different on other dates
< NOTE 2 > — remember there’s no fare difference for SDC; imo it would be *highly* unlikely to find *both* of the earlier SEA-LAX flights completely full at T-24, and even so you would probably have a few connecting options via PDX/SFO/SJC that would get you to LAX by ~1645

I also don't know about coach and a baggy, as I haven't flown it, but in addition to beer & wine, spirits are being added to F & PC starting 4/13.

Was this a FT-only flash sale? I didn't see it promoted anywhere and don't think I saw an email about it either, disappointed to have missed out.
And were the start dates immediate or sometime in the future?
TIA.

I was deals for Seattle/SEA only and it ended last night just before midnight. Availability was immediate through mid June.

Would have loved to snag some overnight or day trips to SoCal for a beach day.

So I can torture myself just a bit more with an opportunity missed, was SEA-EWR also in the dropdown list?
And were deals in both directions (SEA-JFK and JFK-SEA) or only outbound from SEA?
I usually get emails for all these sorts of things but can't find anything in inbox or spam for this one.

You should set an email alert for this forum then
