Thanks for alerting me to this sale. It’s on my shopping list at the moment. BUT….I only need one seat, not two.
Is there any way that you know of where this pricing can be available to a single ticket purchase? Can a phone call to the reservations team activate something? I’m looking at Business Class to SFO.
Thanks,
Kerrod.
