When I was booking my November/December flights, I was outraged at the prices: $1500+ one way first class. I was commiserating with Todd, who had booked one way at $6xx one way for a little later in November. I found that if I changed the days a little bit, I could also get $6xx first class one way. I guess you don't have that luxury if you are tied to timeshare check-in dates. But saving over $900 one way was a big deal for me.
