Does anyone have any sage advice for getting from SEA to MCI - I can't seem to do it with any AS flights for under $1k and even on AA or DL it seems to cost $600+ - this is the first time I have made this run in years and I am wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this other than through MSP.
All help appreciated!

What days? For $1K you could sit in F. Im still really confused that you cant find fares for under $600

Flying through ORD on AA this Thursday. I don't know what gate I'm arriving or departing but would appreciate any advice on where to eat and/or drink while I have a 3hr15min layover. I'm flying from CMH-ORD-SFO.
Thanks
Thanks

Returning Friday the 26th doesnt seem like the part of the trip thats a dilemna. Things seem rather booked whether you use AS, AA, or DL to get there. Some of the DL is even in F, evidentally because all they have left is Y up fares. You could do name your price at priceline but bear in mind then you dont earn miles or get to choose routing. FWIW good ole Southwest you could go on a tuesday and return on friday for $400. But they are just as full on that Monday as well and have the same fares as everybody else on Sunday or Monday. Im sure you are already aware of it but Mondays are usually the busiest day

Yeah, Monday was the huge hangup but I ended up getting a fairly reasonable flight out on Tuesday and back on Friday so in the end it worked out. Will fly a bit further than I usually do on this leg but I am on AS for the bulk of it and one can never get too mad at earning a few more miles

Any PSG FTers here?
Hi,
My family will all be in Petersburg in early July and I'd love to meet up with any FTers who call PSG home (out of 2000 residents, surely at least one is on FT? ). (And beckoa, I need to get back to ANC again sometime soon!)

IMO the food options in Terminal 3 (concourses G, H, K and L, where AS and AA go in and out) are all pretty lousy. Macaroni Grill would probably be the best in Terminal 3, it looks like it's located near gate K2. I personally think Wolfgang Puck's is terrible, I would avoid it if I were you.
Best of luck!

Yeah I went to a Puck express in HNL, that too was terrible. Id never go to another one. I dont like the one in Seatac either. Ive been to a real Wolfgang Pucks Restaurant and it was very good. Those express Pucks and the ones in the airports are terrible
