Man, I love watching The Price is Right. Any chance we've all overbid and we have to bid lower than ElkeNorEast's original bid?

Assuming that's the rule (and knowing all the problems with the website), I'll guess...
$1

This is a trick question and you booked it with miles, right?

Sliding in just before the bell....... I am guessing you are using CO's new "enhanced" website, and given the pricing I was coming up with on some itineraries yesterday (when I was still able to access my account), my guess is:
$192,617.00
This is algorithmecally below the fare given me yesterday for EWR-HNL, in a conf. ALREADY ticketed in June for under $10,000.

I was able to book all of those flights for the amazingly low price of $1,084.60. Ironic that a the winning guess came from someone with the username "wannaflyforless" ^
PM me and I will set up the donation.

This is a really nice deal. In 2 weeks I have to go to Phl from Cle and the cheapest non-stop fare is (tah dah) $904
It's no better at my fall-back position, US. Fortunately, someone else is paying the ridiculous price. I certainly wouldn't!
