This years spring trip airfares are probably the most weve spent over the the last 28 years. ( Chicago / Sw. ) We paid almost $660.00 for end of April into May. Could of done better if we purchased earlier, but we played the "let's wait and check things everyday" game. Didn't fare so well this year. Price kept creeping up the whole time. Then the wife checked one morning and there was only 3 tickets left for the flights we wanted back in early January. Needless to say we jumped on it and decided to spend d a little less on hotel. 'Might' be a sign of Amercan economy being a little better.....who knows.
