Thanks for the link, Canarsie. I was surprised at the "relative" reasoableness of the fares.

For the dates of the DO, it appears one can buy biz class tix (restricted) for 1200 Euro.

Thanks Randy,

I just registered. Looks like the flight leaves JFK at 530 pm on the 19th and arrives at 725am, BA7002 into ORLY. Leaves the 22nd 1055am and gets back to JFK at 135pm, BA7001. We west coasters can still leave here on the 19th and connect and get back on the 22nd if we get on our tickets now of course, thats IF we win! oh and a Y ticket is pricing about 1300 and a J ticket about 3700.

Timing couldn't be any better...am actually in NYC June 17-18 for Steely Dan concert, using a QF award seat CLE-JFK on AA, so my pre-positioing costs would be 2500 QF points to change my return.

Might as well sign up my wife and throw her name into the hopper!!

Taxes

What is the value of each ticket for tax purposes?

I'm not a tax expert, but restricted J seat is selling for $3720, so I would guess the value of ticket is similar to that amount.
