What's up with airfare?
 

I am trying to book a simple ticket from lax to denver in late august and I have never seen such high prices -- 350 for a 2 hour quick flight? whatssssssuuuuuppppp? <BR>Laura

Welcome to our world and thank United for that. Have you tried Frontier?

How about USAirways: $400 for a trip RIC to PHL in September - it's a five hour drive. Multiply by 4 passengers and it's a real no-brainer.

go to USairways.com and see if this is one of the routes they are offering special fares on<BR><BR>Join the club on high airfares it has been happening to us all. Just be glad you can afford to go away

Funny how you mention it -- I just bought a ticket to richmond for August and I cannot believe how expensive it is. Richmond is ridiculous -- check out Washington, norfolk, williamsburg, etc. Good Luck!<BR>Laura

I hear ya-- just checked on a flight from Minneapolis to San Diego...$577 for a non-stop with a Saturday stay AND even leaving Sunday at 6:30AM! Crazy--I usually pay about $250-$300. Also, Minneapolis to Dallas- $315! I used to pay $130 pre 9-11 for a non-stop. I expected prices to go up but this seems out of control.

I found good deals at hotwire for wichita falls, tx.-mpls. in aug.--w.f.,tx.- raleigh,nc in sept.--also good deals at southwest-okcity-la the first wk. of july-gotta hunt for them!

Thanks Sandy! I'll check them out.

I just book Milw to Denver. $176 total, round trip. American airlines.

Travelocity has a fare tracker. They will e-mail you when fares go down. That is how I found great prices for Tampa and Austin. Also, check airlines' websites on Tuesday mornings as airfares change at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesdays. <BR><BR>Good Luck!

Laura,<BR><BR>Try www.discountflights.com. My fiance and I are going to Greece in Sept. for our Honeymoon. First we tried all of the usual online web sites, Hotwire, Expedia, Travelocity, etc. Then we saw a posting on Fodors for www.discount flights.com We got our round trip tickets for $800 each on Lufthansa (the lowest on all the other sites was $1100). They have domestic fights as well. It's worth a shot. Good luck!

I've been tracking airfare for months going DFW-LGA. Finally bought 5 RT tickets (non-stop) on AA yesterday for $168 each. Today, the same flights are starting at $215.

Well I am going to Denver from NYC in August and easily found a $250 per person round trip fare on JetBlue. Of course after I booked the non-refundable tickets I found a $150 offer on United through Yahoo Travel, but the time of departure was inconveniant, and so was the airport (LGA), and JetBlue had better ratings so I decided not to go with the hassle of getting ne wtickets etc... So in general look at Yahoo! Travel and JetBlue.

ny to den in july for $169...i do thank united!

I just booked midway Chic- DC rt $146 on ata.

American Airlines-$694+ from the east coast. This is a web special.
