Just finished drying the lunch dishes and relized one of the quotes on the Murphy's law towel was:

No matter how long or hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.

Just be extra careful with Delta...they probably will have to file bankruptcy eventually....and if you have paid for your flight, and they decide to change routes, or frequencies or codeshares, you may become an "unsecured creditor" and may not ever see any cash for the money you pony up now....possibly future vouchers but one can never be sure of new flight coverage or timetables..they are in maximum cash saving mode now, and you stand to actually lose if they declare chapter 11 before your departure/return.

I too have a spring flight to book, and I am going with Iberia rather than delta due to the uncertainty even though Delta has a better flight plan... be prudent.

Elle, congratulations!

I've been watching San Francisco - Zurich, and they are up about $40 compare to what I paid ($700+, just over $800 with tax and everything).
