Business-Class Tickets to Europe

My neighbor, who works for DHL, recently received a voucher from his company for two round-trip Business-Class tickets to anywhere in Europe to be used between now and November. He is unable to use them and would like to sell them for half-price (he suggests that anyone interested get a price from Northwest for one Business Class ticket and he will sell the voucher to the buyer for that price). If you're interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact me at jorgensd@augsburg.edu.
