I want my two dollars

I've been trying to figure out logistics for a mildly complicated trip abroad for the past few weeks. Our corporate travel department has been very patient with me as I add countries, change dates and insist on certain times. We finally landed on an itinerary that meets my needs last week when I received word that part of my trip might have to change ... again.

So, I waited to confirm this latest wrench in my plans and confirmed with our travel department that they can go ahead and ticket the itinerary today. My contact seemed pleased to tell me that the fare had actually dropped since we last checked, and when I asked how much, she responded, "$2." I better get credit for saving money for the company.
