Looking to get away before I start a new job in 2 weeks. $400 round trip to any of the major Florida airports? Ridiculous.

because you want a ticket in the next two weeks. If you buy in advance it's cheap.

(SWA had $89 to most Fl airports each way)

$400 round trip these days isn't that bad. Pretty average

I just paid $1500 for a roundtrip ticket to Europe. So you get no sympathy from me.

You're not looking in the right spots for prices. I don't think SW charges $400 to fly anywhere.

You're a moron. Europe is a lot further than Florida. If say $1500 is a lot more miles for your buck than $400 to FL. I just got the offer. Not like I could plan ahead of time. GFY.

That's not bad. For both me and my wife, I've spent over $6000 in total air fare to Italy last month and for a trip to Vegas at the end of this month. I hate airlines.

I've been paying 800+ to fly to Lubbock. Flights have gotten very expensive lately.

The biggest mystery is when I fly somewhere, half of the people on the plane look like they'd have to roll pennies for a tank of gas...much less spending $600 on a flight.

Inflation combined with demand for flights it's not that frickin hard.
