JetBlue didn't have a similar fare JFK-LGB?
I haven't found Orbitz worth the trouble yet. By the time I log in, book the flight, wait for the confirmation, and then call the airline to book the seat, I could've just called or e-mailed my TA, had him e-mail me an itinerary, fired back a quick reply, and had the ticket and seats in my hands with about 1 minute worth of work on my part. that's why I still call my travel agent when I need to go. I can still focus on my customer, rather than focus on getting to my customer.

Oh I changed my itinerary to SEA for the extra 1000+ elite miles on that run. Besides, I've always wanted to go sailing on Puget Sound.

Hey Analise -
I fully understand about getting to Silver, looks like Mrs. Duxfan will be making a mileage run this year as well.
Enjoy Seattle! It's a wonderful city, not quite as good as PDX (he says humbly), but still a better choice than anyplace in California!
