Good fares from IAH
A couple of good fares from IAH have popped up.
You can fly IAH to St. Louis for $157 roundtrip on NWA, with pretty good availability. I was just able to book a weekend trip in late September that will get me in on a Saturday morning, off to a Cards game that night, and back out on Sunday evening. NWA's weekend fare finder is very helpful for this sort of thing.
The down side to this fare code is that it will only earn 50% EQMs for CO fliers (100% regular miles). I'll be fine for elite requalification this year, so the cheap fare sold me, but your requirements may vary.
Also from NWA (and United, for you Houston-based Star Alliance fliers) is IAH to London-Heathrow for around $650 (that figure seems to include taxes, fuel surcharges, and all the other semi-hidden nonsense, as far as I can tell from a quick search). This one is also a 50% EQM earner for CO fliers on NWA, but it's still a darn good fare for someone looking to save on a London getaway.
Best advice is to book these quickly if they look at all interesting. Sales have been hard to come by in the current price environment, and these are some good ones.

WOW!!!
If they would only extend that London sale into November I'd be on to something.
Linda and I are peeking at ways to spend Thanksgiving across the pond with her best friend.
Unfortunately that would involve Holiday travel. No sales for me.
That's a heck of a deal to London however, a full $200 off per person.
