We just booked our flights to Rio for our Rio-Ft.Lauderdale cruise on Voyager in December and found the oddest things. For our Seattle-Rio and Ft.L.-Seattle flights, the differences in fares for Biz were astonishing. The strangest thing was that booking the itinerary on Northwest.com was more than $2,000 per person lower than booking it on Delta.com, for the exactly same Delta flights, code-shared with Northwest. Priceline and a couple of other online providers were more than $1,000 per person higher than Northwest.com. I checked it all twice to be sure that I wasn't missing some key item, such as our having to ride in the cargo hold with the luggage and caged dogs. But it appears to be a genuine Biz reservation on Delta for about half of the fare Delta shows on its own website. Please tell me, kiddies, if I am missing something here. If not, this is a very good lesson in looking at every possible vendor for airfares, no? Okay, okay, I know that Delta sucks; but for that low fare in Biz we will manage just fine. Does anyone have any notion that Northwest reservations won't be honored by Delta when the merger is completed?? Or, perhaps, are we just a bit lucky tonight??
