    What's up with airfare?

    I was looking at booking a trip this summer and the flight prices are up 170%. Is anyone else seeing this from their market?

    I was just checking airfare about an hour ago and thinking I'd be better off driving to Atlanta and flying! Kinda steep pricing.
    Don't waste your time with explanations, people only hear what they want to hear.

    We paid around $500 last year and this year around $800.

    For us - GRR - $ 600 is the new $ 450. This April is $150 more each than last April. You gotta do what you gotta do : )!

    Don't look at prices months out, booking 90 days out seems to be my sweet spot. I've always come in April and September for 350ish flights from Boston or providence.....paid almost that for this high season reach.

    Hey Eco, how is it flying out of providence? We're flying out of there for the 1st time this year...usually do JFK..where do you connect through?

    JamaGinger where are you flying from? Also may be too soon. Think they should go down, they need to sell tickets.

    Angel flying from Nashville. I would not be booking this far out normally. I have a flight I need to change for a trip which was scheduled for a couple of weeks from now which I can't now make. I was going to rebook, while I was changing it. I guess I will just have them issue the credit rather than rebooking now. Surely, prices will go down. I am used to paying around $500 - $525. For the same flights right now, they are showing at $800. That's crazy.

    It's a small airport with cheap parking and no traffic=I love it. Park at the extended parking not owned by the airport and google for a 20% off coupon. We connect through MCO...Orlando. Worcester MA is also offering daily JetBlue flights to Florida depending on where you are in CT.

    Eco, thanks for the parking tip. We have been to the airport to pick people up before, just never flew out of there...got a good deal on a flight and it's closer than JFK so all's good
    Good to know about Worcester, I think providence is closer from where we are in CT, but I'll keep it in mind.
