(1): ^

(2): Only while they're still selling the fare. After the fact, it's ok (I called yesterday.....way after the fare was pulled).

G'morning, Box.

I may have a 9am meeting in YYZ the morning after arriving in JFK from a MEX run. There are no flights from JFK to YYZ early enough so I'm likely going to clear immigration/customs and then get in a car to EWR to catch my 6:30am flight. No point in going home at that time since I'd be in my apartment for about an hour. :eek:

:eek: Ouch! Is the meeting something you can sleep through?? :p

Let me know if you pick any midweek mileage runs in March. I have March 11, 15, 25 and 29th off.

Well, central NJ looks like a Christmas card this morning. Too bad it's February (which, IMHO, is definitely the cruelest month).

Your passport should be with you at all time. You never know when you need to leave the country on a good mistake fare.

And you should make sure you locate it the day BEFORE you're to get on the plane, not leave it for the morning of. :eek: Let's just be thankful that in 2006 you could still go to Mexico on a birth certificate...not that I know anything about that personally...

Awesome!

I punched in a bunch of days in early March on co.com, but the only ones showing up as having the $128 base fare that sdm1130 mentioned are Tues 3/9 and Wed 3/10. Oddly enough, neither of those flights show up on either KVS or seatcounter, but they're bookable from the website...am I missing something?

I fear I may be shooting myself in the foot by making March commitments, but...are either of you free on either of those days?

What are you finding for $128?

Those dates could be tough since I probably have to be in Syracuse right around then. Late february works a little better but not much. A weekday MR may not be in the cards. :( :(

LGA-IAH-SLC overnight turn (couldn't find the price on a same-day)

Ohhh, I didn't even look at overnights. 3/9 and 3/10 work for same-days, at least for now.

Unfortunately, anything before 2/26 Is Not Possible for me. And as of next week, I'll basically be living in the theatre (which is even more sad considering my house is about 500 yards from it).

Maybe he was doing valid research-

Maybe even get the right time on the new laptop, otherwise you may be forced to use the new trashcan. May be just stay at new home today to avoid :rolleyes:

If I did this trip, I'd need to crash somewhere. I'd have to be out teh door at something like 0200 to catch that flight.

Late March and one weekday in April had that base fare on ITA last night.

Morning, Box.

Not if I want the event planned correctly. The $300 fare to get into YYZ for the meeting is hurting me a bit. Gotta figure out how to deal with that. :td:

3/9 might work but I have to be in Syracuse the morning of 3/10 for a full day of work so it would be a little tight.

Good to know since I will now drive into the office instead of waiting for it to melt. :-:
