Sounds about right - Buddy Passes for long trips are not the big bargain they used to be...I recently had a friend fly on a Buddy Pass round trip FLL-LAS and it cost him $200...had he just purchased a 21day advance purchase confirmed ticket it would have cost him about $230...he had been planning the trip for a few months so an advance purchase ticket was not out of the question for him...but he wanted the chance for first class, which he didnt get - but instead got a middle seat in coach both directions...
