I'm not sure how you do that. Or if you're considering picking up a trip in open time, or swapping with someone else, can you check? It doesn't look like it, and now the site just gives me an error message when I try to get on it. Great.

Another thing, I checked on a flight, and there were probably ten options for this route on the Delta website. The FedEx system gave me one option for Delta, that's it. What an improvement.
Those are excellent points. When accepted fares so low, I usually check flight prices to see if I can come anywhere close to staying near the bank.
