Daphne (and others) - have you any idea whether, for example, they would
be available to San Diego from where you are? Atlanta offered a lot as it
was the Delta hub. From where I come from, there are seldom any breaks to
the Sat night rule and I suspect that is the case for many locations. It
is a difficult problem but I would like some info from others. For
example, I have to go somewhere next week where I made it clear I cannot
stay Sat night (and I am not paying) -- that raises the cost from a likely
3 or 400 to about 1200. That is the norm for me.
