|  fickle airfare I posted last night how I had snagged 4 RT tickets for our trip in Aug/Sept for only $804  Logged onto Delta this morning and those SAME tickets/flights numbers would now cost me $1348 today My advice if you haven't bought tickets for a trip is to check your preferred carried site as often as possible!!! It's unbelievable how they change so quickly and for whatever reason

| My friend and I with 6 children paid $104 with AirTran, when my hubby and his friends decided they wanted to come with us, the booked at $174, now that same flight is $366. This is for a one way ticket per person from Buffalo! Quite the price jump!!! I always check often with AirTran, if the price goes down the give you a credit. Our return flight went from $99 per person to $72, so I called and they issued us a credit!!!

| I agree with everyone, keep checking the websites for fares and when you see something good you should grab it. Prices are based on availability and when the "cheap" seats are gone the prices keep going up and up! It's also a good idea to check back after you've booked because if the airline is having a sale and prices have come down, then you can get a credit! |

| It's always a good idea to pretty much live on the airlines websites when you are looking for a fare - know what is a good fare (or at least what you can live with). I booked our flights for this August in February for $205 per person. They are now $419 per person - and at one point, they were running $569 per person!! |

| I agree, Judi! I paid $134 (with fees and taxes) at 8am yesterday for DD's and my one way tickets for our trip in August. My DH found out later in the day yesterday that he was going to be able to take leave and come with us, so I went to book his ticket on the same flight . . . it ended up being cheaper to book 2 one way tickets, but the same flight DD and I booked on for $134 was $258 when I booked for DH. I'm thinking that when I see a super low fare for MouseFest, I am just going to jump on it and buy right then with the rate that airfares are fluctuating.
