Lowest price for a discount ticket went from $363.00 a person to $450.00. Could have booked at $309.00 last Tuesday but Bing said it would go down.

I guess I will pay what ever now. Might as well go First class. Not that much more at these prices.

Flight from Dallas to Seattle.

Flights have been going up for a while! I could have bought RT at $119 from San Fran, but decided to wait until payday and BOOM $200+. Eff it, I am going to drive the 12 hours! I have never seen the Pacific Northwest anyway!

try www.itasoftware.com

try flying in on Wed the 2nd or even the day of the game, looks to be the cheapest.

3rd= 580
4th =494

The increase surely looks like it is related to the number of people buying tickets for those dates.

my search criteria had me leaving out of New Orleans.

Leaving EARLY on Friday morning and coming back on Monday at some point. We might leave on Sunday night and sleep in Portland for the night, but we are not sure.
