I saw one for $695 all in from IAH (two stops both ways) Don't need the miles though this year... next year I'll be all over something like this. For 1Ks who picked double RDM in Sept for their 125K elite choice, this could be a sweet MR

Nothing definitive has been released yet. All we know is "later this year" and with my luck it'll be right after my trip...
