I don't think they are that high. Within the last week, I booked an open-jaw trip from Salt Lake City to New Orleans and From Washington DC back to Salt Lake City for $369.80 on the United web site. I also booked a three city flight, Las Vegas to San Francisco to Anchorage back to Las Vegas for $545.20, also on the UAL web site.
I could easily have paid more - you just have to shop for a combination of route and times you're willing to fly for a price you're willing to pay.

That's a good point. West Palm Beach is also less expensive than Miami. Independence Air just started going there for me as well which is good. It is not a close as Fort Lauderdale but worth looking into.

We have reservations from Pennsylvania to Tampa in June through expedia for 150.00 per ticket. Sometimes you get better deals if you try buying them in the middle of the night. I have no clue why. I tried the same flights in March and the prices were sky high due to spring break. good luck.

Ditto the comments that Ft Laud is cheaper than Miami. We fly quite a bit to Dallas, Denver, Seattle and Los Angeles and fares are always cheaper (usually by $50 or more) from Ft. Lauderdale.
We are lucky to be halfway between both airports. Ft Laud has undergone tremendous growth in the last few years and actually handles more domestic traffic now than Miami does.
However, if you are heading to the Caribbean or Central/South America, fares and availability are much better from Miami.

Also it pays to be flexible. We tried to get 4 tickets to Orlando from Boston for the week of our April school vacation. Cost was between $1200 and $1500. Decided to go the Wed. of vacation til the following Tues. Cost was $600.

I usually find the best deals on United and AA 5-8 weeks before my trip. They seem to hold "fare sales" about every two months. If you're a FF member, you can post a fare watch on the AA website.
