I don't know what airfares are typical for this route, but in PHL USAir is the dominant carrier, and I don't know if they have much competition on this route. I know airfares from PHL to STT were very high ($800)for this past March.

Right,the $412 includes taxes and fees. It doesn't sound like a bad price!
What price were you hoping for??
Just wondering,

Hmm, $412 sounds like an outstanding price for me. What exactly were you hoping to pay for an international flight?

just needed to know if this was a good price or not. i fly from phl - lax for under $200 sometimes (though it's $350 now). i understand that's not international.

ok, i'm booking!
