A quick one from the page though.

They got pretty expensive though, it's 90% off the highest priced ticket and very often we could find a better deal on Orbitz or Travelocity...

AGREED !

For all the reasons mentioned above -AND the most important:

If you have a wife, ID90 is VERY overrated! Most wives don't want to put up with the BS of the high possibility of being bumped. . .especially at a mid point airport!

Happened to us a few years ago, when the kids were toddlers. Took a ski vacation to Tahoe . .flying into RNO. No problem getting there, but, on the way home, early evening, dead tired, cranky kids . . they did not have enough seats out of SJC for all of us to get home.

Fortunately, there was another flight about 2+ hours later, that they said was wide open, due the lateness of the evening. BUT . . subsequent to that, wife would NEVER use ID90 AGAIN. I will BET there are thousands of stories like that. NOT the benefit it is cracked up to be.

The Orbitz/Travelocity comment (above) was right on, since the 90% off DOES come on the highest priced ticket. If you are traveling alone, the FREE Jump Seat has always been my favorite option. ;)

The SWA is great when kids are in college. Just have to 'anticipate' . .but kids got the time and patience and consider meeting people in airports an 'adventure'. :eek:
