I fear the same. I have some stuff booked for June and July but nothing beyond that. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a summer blockbuster of a mistake fare!

I fear this is going to be a long dry-spell of massages, pedicures, etc. to pay for our travel :eek: Thank God I booked the spa package at the Sav Westin!!!

No, but they can do amazing things with PBR cans.

(that's Pabst Blue Ribbon for you cultured folk)

CO was $213. I chose CO, because the chance for an upgrade is better. Oh yeah, US doesn't even have F on that route. :cool:

I won't be out there by then, but I'll hold on to the invite. ^

Yeah, I am glad I got tickets to BZE when I did.

I thought about buying a r/t to a beach somewhere but these fares are nuts. I checked co.com for the specials yesterday and got a "we're still calculating" message.

Gonna be a slow summer unless work travel picks up or I get a different job.

I am thinking about picking up that 2k J fare to DEL. I would have to eat ramen to afford it, but it is very tempting.

The UA fare or one that actually allows you to stay in India for a while? I've been looking for a decent opportunity to go back to India (really Mrs. sbm12 has been) and that would be a good way to do it...

Regarding CO's BF product - it's an enjoyable experience. However, I would say don't get your hopes up too much. You eat some (decent) food for an hour and a half or so, drink a ton of wine and then you go to sleep. Before you know it, the experience people make a fuss over is done.

Having never flow up front and having a few LH flights in Y under my belt I'd say that's what the whole experience is about! ;)

In the future try CHS, HHH (unbelievably, sometimes it's cheaper, and DL now flies in there), and BQK. All closer than ATL for driving.

Thanks for the tips on why the seatmap isn't accurately reflecting available seats in the pointy end. ;)

Is an AB6 Experience worth dropping $630 bucks on? Decisions, decisions.

No, IMO.
