WOW! Airtran rates just went astronomical here!
I had looked at booking a ONE WAY from CMH to FLL for mid July on Airtran (for 4 of us). Yesterday, it was $141. Same exact flight today is $545! The same out of Dayton for the same day. The price just tripled? How can airlines justify this? The price of gas is down so it's not a fuel thing. I really get tired of all this and it makes me want to travel less and less.
Southwest for the same route is $220 per person one way. If I don't get a chance to snag those, I will just drive. It will be way cheaper at this point? I'm certainly not paying $2200 just to get my group back home on an Airtran flight.
