When are the spring sales?
Does CO typically run a spring sale between now and March? I want to travel to Europe for Spring Break, and I am flexible. So when is strategically the best time to buy? Right now they want at least $400, and I feel like I could do better than that if I waited. Stupid idea?
I have a feeling they will run a few in January as that's a normal slump period. Will those fares be valid all the way till March? Hmmmmm.
Also, do HoKeY (wait ... what's the new "Enhanced" named of that game?) fares fluxuate at all? Even though I'm trying to go cheap, I would still pay a chunk more to try out BF. But certainly not $1500.

My recommendation is that you start vesting your frequent flyer miles in your young career at other airlines instead, especially places like United or American that offer really good international bennies like SWU/Sweet Spot and VIPOW upgrade certificates. What's more, they have formal programs that recognize million-miler status, which gives you even higher upgrade priority, unlike CO which doesn't even bat an eyelash.

Don't know when you want to travel, but BA was offering $100 ($200 RT) fares to London from many US originations to celebrate 100 years of flying....
