A decent fare. perhaps someone will be able to work in an extra connection in SFO. I tried to add a JFK connection but failed.

The dates I have reserved are 13-16 Feb: a nice little weekend trip to MEX.

Books into L class.

Can you use one CR-1 for LAX-IAD-MEX? You've got more than a 4 hour connection at IAD, but I guess since there's only one flight out of IAD that day, you've got a strong case.

I'll give it a shot. If not, I can still tolerate coach!

The return should be no problem.

This has been up for a few days. Don't have the time. Otherwise I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Ouch, 5 hours on an A319..I hope your ug's cleared!

If this was one of those "no minimum stay" fares I think I'd be all over it.

3.3 CPEQM is hardly anything to sneeze at, especially if someone from L.A. wants to go to MEX and chip away at their status.

Stash the bags at an RCC and pop into DC for a bit?
