Try it once! But don't book the second trip until you know you survived the first round.

Cool. How did you turn that up?

You've got to book it one way, and the fare varies, but its in that range for a RT total.

I expect much of that routing is on ASA, so be prepared for a lot of delays and tight or missed connections.

I travel to BTR often and find that it's worthwhile to drive to MSY and fly mainline than to put my schedule in the hands of ASA. I don't recall ever being at BTR when there wasn't a delay on either the flight before mine or my flight. Ask around to find out what "ASA" really stands for.

There's a Skyclub in JAX, but nothing for *A. I also think upgrades are tough to/from JAX unless you are a DL DM or PM.

If your goal is upgrades, adding in those extra segments is a good strategy.
