Price war NYC-ORD (as low as $78 r/t)
 

Prices have dropped as low as $78 r/t plus taxes on several airlines, including AA - where you can also piggyback the FLY06 promotion - take 1, 2 or 3 r/t to CHI by 2/28 and get 5, 10 or 25,000 bonus miles.

Hmm. The Joffrey Ballet is doing an interesting program Feb 14-25.

Thanks for the heads-up on the low fare.

I prefer the ABT. Give me an evening of classical ballet over contemporary works any day.

Me too, honestly. Right now, given my druthers I'd take the Royal Ballet. Alas Francophile, Paris Opera Ballet, with their brilliantly trained classical dancers, is saddled with poor repertory choices to show them off. Cojocaru's Aurora at the Royal was worth a mad sprint from Heathrow from a plane landing from LED at 17:30 for a 19:30 curtain.

That said, the Joffrey program in February is distinguished - Massine/Balanchine/Jooss - and Massine is rarely programmed now. I've booked a flight for $118 - I think it's worth it, and I like the city.
