There's worse ways to get down there.

I may have to do it. There's no cheap flights at the moment to STT/SJU from IAH (on any carrier, for late March), and US is the only redemption option with seats up front. I'll probably take advantage of the tanking GBP and do part-cash/part-miles with BD for a redemption, if it comes to that.

edit to add, CO L fare @ 149 each way and about $100 in taxes and intl fees, no fuel surcharge

Yeah, I cannot find any dates where the actual fare shown on FareCompare comes up.

FC is pretty accurate for Q-UPs, but I never put any stock in the long-haul fares it quotes on the Maps page.

I have yet to find any of the Q-UPs that are actually bookable on DL or NW. :(

The FT tool is where I found the fares. I think the rules are what were screwing me up. It mentioned dates after Apr 17, but I think it's wrong.

That is the correct fare--$149 OW +taxes (they add up due to the 3rd country transits). Try ITA monthlong searches. I was getting a few hits and the itin I put up was about a week long in late April.
I didn't try to book anywhere, not sure the best option. doesn't seem like something co.com would be successful with.

US Airways jet hit a deer this morning in CLT. No injuries (other than the deer), and the plane was not damaged.

In other news Doug Parker was seen today trying to plead with mother nature, as he has clearly pissed her off.

Thanks!

Books on Orbitz.com for $439 a/i ($100+ cheaper than CO.com for same dates).

A lot of the UA Q-UPs can't be booked at maximized mileage/segments on .bomb (it just crashes on segment-heavy multi-city itins), so I often resort to xp or :rolleyes:rbitz

High 70s and sunny in Houston - perfect for having a cup of coffee while sitting outside.

Why do I live in NJ? :(
