OH geez!!! That is a great price!!!! The lowest price I have ever gotten is $412.00. One time, I found rt to Cancun for $378.00, and it was a few days after I had surgery on my leg. I wanted to start bawling.

I know it is a long way off.......but it seemed to be a great price. I checked every airport in the midwest.....and this was by far the best price of all of them.

Cool

Seems like there are some good deals out there.

I just booked $304.00 for May 7-14 with Continental out of Newark.

$401 with tax, no bag fee.

The upgrades are not available yet but there is always a way

What is the sheep for? Does anyone use this?

Nah...you have to take advantage of the price. I have bought tickets way far in advance especially if we are traveling around or right after Christmas. It's good planning.

$300 after tax is a GREAT DEAL.

I haven't found those prices from IND since '08. Well we skipped '09 probably good deals then. But 2010 I looked and looked and best i could do was $400 after tax/fees. Still worth it. Got great deal on condo to make up for it.

Hoping $350 or less this time...best I can do is $385 on Delta for end of April...May is $410. Just hubby and me this time as my brother is hoping to teach and doesn't know his vacation schedule.
