Just for stoner kicks, I looked up the cost of traveling to Denver from Central Europe. The dates are the 18th through the 22nd of April.
R/T Economy $790, nice. Continuing on, I did a little light reading and discovered that when using my retiree discount, I can stay at a 4* for $50 per night, sweet.
All in, $1300 plus an unknown $$$ for incidentals (cannabis) = ONE LARGE TIME!!!
Not bad when compared to 4/20 Amsterdam, all in about $1280 plus an unknown $$$ for incidentals (cannabis) = ONE LARGE TIME!!!
Choices and decisions... hmm................
...

hmmm Indeed... there are already quite a few of us going to be there, would be great to see ya!!! xoxoxo

I looked at the prices of the DB and wondered why there are no "Sparpreises".
Even with my Bahncard 50 it was expensive. Then I've decided to go with KLM.
Saves time, but I hate the security checks at STR when you leave.

That's the fuel surcharge, it's always about half of the ticket price

its a shame,

Tell me about it! I wanted to visit my daughter in Mexico this spring, it costs 800 dollars for a round trip ticket in mid-March. Two or three years ago, it cost 350-400 for the same trip. (In total, it's only 3 1/2 hour of flight time). I'm not sure if it's for the same reason as the prices for Europe, but I know that there are fewer flights to Mexico than two years ago and that has something to do with the prices. I see then that you've finally "pulled the trigger," to borrow Nimrod's apt phrase.
