flight prices - vent!!!

I've been watching flights back to Nebraska for an October wedding and Christmas. The cheapest for the wedding is $290 round trip - I used to be able to get flights for $215 or so but the price has been on an upward trend. For x-mas it is even worse, but I think we both have enough ff miles to cover that one at least. It just sucks to have to pay about $600 just to see our family - or more if we can't fit everything into carry on!!

Re: flight prices - vent!!!

  • I feel you girl!  We're going to MN in seveal weeks, and DH still hasn't booked our flights because he's waiting to see if the fares go down any. This time last year we got tickets for less than $300 round trip, and right now they're close to $400....and that's per person!!!!!
  • I hear ya!

    I haven't been to visit my family in MA for a few years. I'm hoping to be able to fly back there with Ted sometime next year, & I'm already scared about what the prices are going to be like. Plus with the added bag fees... ugh. It's just crazy.

  • I feel you!  It's over 400/pp for us to go to Vegas ever year.  You'd think that since Vegas is such a major place, it wouldn't be AS expensive.  I was excited when I got 360 rt to San Fran next month.  Now that's sad!
  • I knew I wouldn't be the only one frustrated on this topic!
  • Nope...you're not alone!  I kept watching flights to MX in Oct and the one I had my eye on went from being less than 1/2 way full to sold out within 2 days! 

    Luckily there was 1 flight that had almost as good times (an extra stop) and wasn't too much more expensive.  I bought our tix in case that one sells out or the prices go up.  Otherwise all of the other flights are at least $600/ pp *and* a 20+ hour travel time!

    I just can't imagine flight prices going down with this damn oil spill that "they" cannot get under control.Angry

     

  • that sucks, but i feel like if i can get a ticket under $350, it is a good day.

    I know that $290 isn't horrible in comparison to some flights (for instance my flight to Sacramento in July for work I expected to be at least 350), but it definitely is up for the particular flight that we take - Baltimore to Omaha. And I'm always monitoring BWI - OMA flights, so I know they have been trending up.
