I have booked the Sat Feb date with a Friday return. $460- with one stop (I can always change it up to midnight tonight) (American has it for $408) But my husband is flying Delta on miles, I am flying on fare. I know the market for this area. I know I can try and wait it out. But for the 30 -50 some odd dollars difference, from when I started researching flights.. its ok.(fare has continually gone up) Certainly beats the almost $800 fare I am seeing for the date/route I was attempting to fly on. Last year when I flew this route I watched Delta go back and forth, back and forth etc on the fares.

Thanks for all the input and sorry if some think I have overreacted with my frustration -I don't fly for business - I fly 1 - 2 times a year - I know it is the airlines job to get the greatest dollar for that seat that they can.


Thanks
