When did short flights get so expensive?


Recommended Posts

I haven't flown to CA from WA in a while but it seems the last time I flew it was less than $200 round trip. Now $200 is about the going rate one way. They did have a $121 rate one way but it wasn't on the best flights. Goodness! I'm supposed to fly down for Labor Day weekend so I'm just praying I can get on a flight as a stand-by passenger with a friend's passes. Otherwise, I don't think there will be a trip for me.:glare:

I know its crazy right! I just had to get my grandmother a ticket from upstate NY back to tampa. I have not flown in a few years but it use to be around $60 -$100 for a one way ticket. It cost around $200 now. there were some that were slightly cheaper but leaving at 5 am.. and its a hour drive to the airport, so that wasnt happening! ;)

 

Im sure its all due to the economy and people probably arent flying as much so they increase their costs. I Also noticed that it was difficult to find a direct flight from albany to tampa or orlando. There were only like one a day that was direct. They use to have tons of direct flights.

 

Times are changing.. :tongue_smilie:
