Hi -

I've got to go to Madison this summer (the week of July 4) for a good friend's wedding.

He says that fares from out east (I live in NYC, he lives in DC) can be had for <$300 r/t.

I've been obsessively checking, and the cheapest I've seen ex-NYC since the beginning of the year is mid-$400s.

Does anyone know if it's realistic to expect fares lower than this (it is the peak summer travel season, after all)? I'm wondering whether I should just book something now and be done with it.

Thanks!
