Given recent news reports that U.S. airline companies are starting to see the initial edge of a recovery and statements within the industry of possible mergers, as well as a noted increase in airline fares by my own research, well, you simply have to jump at the good deals when you come across them.

Travis found a nice fare from TPA to HNL for a long weekend trip and we booked at $655.41, all in.

Four full days, Wednesday late afternoon/evening, and Monday morning is a good bit of time for the cost of the ticket. As we arrive back from Brazil less than two weeks earlier, on May 13th, this will have to be considered as a little rest and relaxation from that trip.

The flight also routes through LAX which means we'll be eligible for standard upgrades into first class on all flight segments. Now, lets just hope our Platinum status results in such.
