My stay will probably be very short (2-3 days) and DrFL won't return til December, or I might book her 1-way at this point. Thanks in advance!

Originally Posted By LuLu hahaha!!! Well, I got one reservation at $149 each way - amazing - but they only had 1 seat left at that price. The other was almost double! Still a good deal. I'm happy with the dates and times I ended up with. Originally I was thinking of going out on the red-eye and just staying 1 night. Now I'm staying 3 nights, no red-eye, and got the low fares by flying out Saturday and back Tuesday. So we'll have 2 full days to poke around and 1/2 day to move DrFL into dorm.
