Cheapest NYC-SAT flight for those dates is on CO EWR-SAT for $350+/-. I'm going to stick with the EWR/DFW to save the $400 even though it will cost me an extra $50 in gas and 8 hrs of driving time. On the upside, now I can get a nice, big, juicey steak at H3 in Fort Worth (fantastic steakhouse...haven't had a bad steak there yet) on my way back to DFW.
