Alsancak, İzmİr — Turkey
It’s past midnight, and I really should be fast asleep. But my brain is awhirl with all kinds of thoughts. So, why not put this awake-time to good use and do a quickie blog post?
We are doing the RTW with our friends, the Zs. Yesterday, MZ sent me an email saying that they booked their MIA-IAH airfare, opting for the 6:30p flight on 6 July because it was several hundred dollars cheaper than the 2:45p flight that we’re booked on. How could that be when we paid around $300pp for first class tickets???
Curious, I signed on to the United Airlines website. WOW! In the span of less than a month, the first class fare for our flight had nearly doubled to $562pp. I can see why the Z’s picked the 6:30p flight … I would have too!
Seeing these current prices on the UA website makes me feel
that much better about the fare we paid for our tickets.
The big jump in the airfare is not surprising, but I wasn’t expecting the increase to happen so quickly. I’m just glad we got our tickets the day UA opened 6 July for booking. Timing is everything, and ours was helped by our initial plans to book award tickets using miles.
