the mysteries of air travel

Today is Setting Orange, day 54 in the season of Confusion, 3271.

American wants to send me from Washington/Dulles to Denver...via LAX. For $680. Buh? Yeah, let me jump right on that one, especially with the 2-hour layover that wouldn't let me meet up with anyone in LA even if I went through there.

And why does a particular codeshare flight operated by Northwest cost $320 on Continental and $496 on Northwest itself? Same. Damn. Plane. Or how about a $324 vs. $402 United/US Air codeshare, or even better: $110 difference for a different codeshare flight?

Figuring out what variety of drugs these people are on is hard! Let's go shopping!

If you're trying to get to Denver from IAD, give Frontier a try.....we flew back from Las Vegas on Frontier a while back and connected thru Denver. Overall it was a pleasant experience and the price was pretty reasonable.

I just bought a ticket on American for some reasonably small amount of cash and a less obnoxious departure time than 6:30 AM. I'll keep Frontier in mind for later though, thanks!
