I happen to love Zed fares. The cost of my OA tickets has dropped considerably since US joined the Star Alliance and started to use Zeds.
We use Sabre, but the only part of Sabre I am happy with is the gate program. The rest is more difficult then we had before US changed over in the 90s.
You work in my favorite big city, which Randy knows I visit several times a year. It is just too darn cold and snowy right now. Give me 60F and sunny in SAV where I now live.
One more thing, a late welcome from me to the forum.
