Thanks for the tip! That's more than the $160 all in on the BWI-SEA flights, but it's more miles and a lot closer to home...

Not true I'm doing it with my whole family My 12:26am arrival at EWR prior to the 5:30am departure from PHL is going to be interesting... I have to pick up the family on my drive between the airports.

No! I've done two of these already at the same price! Great chunk of EQMs, especially on the DEQM promotion!!

Ouch! that's going to be one long tiring trip for you. What dates are you doing? are you doing the same day turn?

I can;t believe I am doing all of this myself....I have been bitten by the DEQM bug

4/29-PHL-IAH-SJC-IAH-PHL
5/23-CHS-IAH-SAN-IAH-CHS
6/3-CHS-EWR-SEA-IAH-CHS

Let me know if yall do the PHL SJC PHL trip on the 29th....I am going to need for someone to keep me awake. By the way, having never done a same day turn, do all 4 of my BP's print out in PHL or will I have to re-check in and the gate to get my return BP's?

We've got 1hr at IAH each way and 1hr at SJC. That's not much time for a recharge

I am going to clear out my cookies and cache. I've tried booking by fare, specifying L class and no luck.

I keep getting A class in all the segments.

Something here is weird. I am searching by price and even though I have economy selected, it keeps coming up in A class. I even tried with Explorer ( I use Firefox ) and I get a technical error. this may not be meant to be for me.

I'll keep trying, thanks for the tips!
