Albany suffers from the same predatory pricing that much of NY state suffers from - Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse also have terrible, terible airfares. While I can often fly from ROC to LHR for $400 rt. it can easily cost me $200 + to fly RT ROC to NYC and ROC to BOS is even worse.
Albany has just landed Southwest as a carrier - you may want to check their website for the start of service and pricing. Also, I believe JETBLUE will also be looking at Albany for service.
