My fiance and I will be flying from Boston to Chicago around July 21
and then driving back.  We are hoping to find people making the
opposite trip, so that we can go in together on round-trip tickets.
The tickets haven't been purchased yet, so we are very flexible on the
date(s) of the Chicago->Boston flight(s), and on the airline(s).

- The tickets would be for one male and one female, but they do *not*
have to be travelling together, at the same time, or even on the same
airline.

- We would prefer to fly United, since our frequent-flyer miles are
on that airline.  However, this is negotiable.

- Either of the one-way Chicago->Boston trips can be arranged for ANY
TIME from NOW until, say, around the end of the year (July 21 plus
however long airlines let you have between legs of a round trip).  (If
you want to fly before we do, we buy a Chicago->Boston->Chicago round
trip; if you're going after July 21, we get Boston->Chicago->Boston).

- On United, a round-trip Boston-Chicago ticket costs around $300.  A
one-way ticket from Boston to Chicago costs around $400.  We'd like to
split the round-trip 50-50, but would be willing to negotiate.

- For comparison, from talking to different people, I would estimate
that a one-way train ticket from Chicago->Boston costs $80-$120, but I
have no real numbers on this.  You'd probably have to spend 18 hours
on a train, and probably 20-24 driving or taking a bus.

If you think you'll need a one-way ticket from Chicago to Boston
anytime in the forseeable future, PLEASE send me email SOON.  We need
to get the tickets as soon as possible.  Thanks.
