When is CO going to do SOMETHING?
...To encourage future travel. Let's see, off the top of my head; AA,DL,TW,& UA are offering 2x miles. AA,DL,US, UA have discounted award tickets. NW, FL, and HP are having fare sales of their own.
The sale fare that CO advertises doesn't help me a lot, 21 day advance purchase is a joke. Continental is the only airline I truly like flying, but I just might use the services of others over the next month and half. When is CO going to join in?...or is it just me??
I probably am speaking to soon. With my luck, there will be an announcement tomorrow!!

Haha...I knew it!! I swear I have the worst timing. Sorry folks!
On a positive note, it is great to see that CO has now stepped up to the plate.

Oh, the reason I think they didn't follow with the discounted award tickets... they already have coach award tickets at 20,000 miles since it is off-peak, and they have international destinations 1/2 off for 17,500 miles.
