Sigh. Is there any reliable way to read nytimes articles without having an account, nowadays?
I know you can usually do it by googling for a string of text from the article body, but without an extract from the article body there's no way to do that from here.
And I'm assuming bugmenot no longer works in the post-paywall world, right?
edit: Never mind, I found it by googling "how to beat high airfares" (which I thought wouldn't work). Turns out it's a Nate Silver article and quite interesting. The trick is that sometimes you can get to a hub airport more cheaply by booking a flight to some destination on the other side of the hub and then just getting off the plane... but of course the more people start using this trick (after it's published in the New York Times) the less useful it will be.
