International Fares Reduced?
I just repriced my SEA-FRA trip for November and found that the fare has dropped $80 (WLWANE + WLXANE).
Are these the winter fares?

I was able to pull up the fare rules--I believe these are the winter fares. They are good through March, 2008 (but not for some days near the December holidays). 
I was just on the phone to get my $80 voucher. The HNL call center agreed to issue it but it took some time since I asked they not lose my upgrades.

Well, maybe these are the first round of winter fares. My current repriced airfare is $516 (without taxes, etc.). Last year the SEA-FRA "W" fare for November travel was $381 for a ticket I bought on October 1. So, maybe it will go down more?

H-fares too
Strange, the H-fares (HKXANE/HKWANE) I have been eyeballing PDX-FRA have also dropped by almost $200. And this is for the first 2 weeks of May 2008! Will they go back up after 9/20?

Well . . . it wasn't really anger, just a little growl. I took your advice to refare, tried to do it online but couldn't find a way around the $100 "service charge" on two trips. I called and got the Honolulu CC where a terrific CS guy took care of things. Thanks mahasamatman for giving me the nudge I needed to do something about this. I should be receiving a couple of hundred dollars worth of vouchers. You rock. I owe you a drink.
