air fare increase?
have all air fares gone up a lot over the weekend? i was looking into flying to detroit in october and the lowest fare was $282. Now they all are $350-$425 for the same flights. I have checked with american, united and continental and they all have shot up. why the big hike in rates?

My crystal ball says.........Big Convention!!!
Seriously, who knows? It could be anything.
Is there a big sporting activity or city wide convention during those dates?
Where are you flying out of? Is there something major going on in your hometown that would drive up airfare?

What airlines are you checking? The best deals for Detroit are usually Northwest and Spirit. I've gotten some great deals on Spirit they just don't fly to as many cities as NW. Maybe the flights you are looking into are getting booked so price is going up?

Don't know exactly where you are flying from but assuming it's one of these three, Dallas, Austin or Houston, The fares are ranging from ~$225-$275 all in.
It would help if you posted the departure city and the dates.
Good luck.

Up, Up, and UP I'd guess.
Just on the Southwest Ding specials from Albany to BWI -- were running $25, eased up to $27, $29 during last week, and are $35 today.
Remember that competition for oil next time you "save" money on some imported clothing, car, or electronics device!
