Just my $0.02.
My point was that, Seattle to Texas, LA to Vegas, Denver to Nashville. If i had $150 dollars to spend on a whim, I'd strongly consider taking one of these flights. To go to DC, I wouldn't fly, I'd take a bus or the train for less then half the price. You cannot bus it from Seattle to Texas in 4 hours, you cannot train it from Denver to Nashville in four hours. Maybe from LA to Vegas but I'm feeling neglected by priceline. At the risk of killing any sense of seriousness with this post: William Shatner needs to start helping a brotha out.
