FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

CO fares to ATL have gone :eek: in the past 24 hours for the days I need next month. Current loads are about 35%. This is likely forceing me to US. At least those are E jets.

Wait until Tuesday. You have a 95% chance that the fares will come back down. CO is well known for such fare shenanigans on the weekends.

The :rolleyes: was also strong this morning when some :rolleyes: honked at me for making a right on red when he was turning left across four lanes of traffic.

I expect to see pictures from PRG that rival those of the Swedish heroes.

That's my plan at this point. My EWR-HNL flight last year was only $16 more than these flights. At this point in time I'd rather go to HNL for a few days than ATL. I noticed they didn't touch PHL - ATL (via EWR) fares.

PHL - IAH - ATL is where the miles are. :-:

And almost certainly will price as PHL-IAH + IAH-ATL. CO's routing rules are very, very strict in most cases.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your ride over! ^

I was able to enjoy some lie-flat coach seating on the way to FRA. Now, I'm trying to enjoy a packed SEN lounge before my flight to DRS. Hopefully Hartmann makes it in time... :)

I guess we just missed you in FRA. We have arrive in PRG and at the Hilton Old town. Unfortunately my Aunts Lugguage didnt make the flight we were on. My luggage via OKC and friends via SAT both made the flight over. Hopefully hers gets here this evening.

See those coming over tonight later on and those in transist have a great trip!

Unless you just hit them on a good day where they want you to go IAH-CLT via MKE and CLE like I did :)

Tomorrow I go to FLL via EWR, AND CLE, in first all except CLT-EWr which is on an RJ 12A.

Without the Box, I would have something close to 4,200 posts on FT. Subtract the PWP2.0 thread, and it's more like 3,400. :eek:

I found a CO routing rules gem. The experts might not think it's all that special, but I was floored at the price I was getting for the cities involved and the resulting mileage.

Morning, Box.
