Yeah, this year you've got the end of spring break running into the start of Easter week. Kids today are so spoiled (I never got to fly anywhere during spring break *grumble*)

If there's a silver lining, it pretty much opens up all of April and May up to Memorial Day for sales. Airlines will continue to exploit the lessened competition to actually cut seats to drive fares up, which might work short term but creates openings for LCCs and ULCCs to gain most of the market share as demand grows.
