I feel your pain though, I booked for December last week, paid $249 per person (there's 4 of us) and it killed me, I know that's not a bad price but I've never paid more than $179 roundtrip from Detroit to Orlando. And today I found out that not only is the airline charging for checked luggage, but now they're charging for seat assignments. When will this madness end???
I know, it is a totally sad reality that for the first time I may have to cancel a vacation because airfare may be too high. I've never paid more than $275. for Newark to Orlando and that was Thanksgiving week so I thought $275. was HIGH.

I wish I could contact some airfare specialist and see their opinion. I was always under the impression that airfares are released at the LOWEST rate and just continue to rise. Is this correct, 'cause if so, I am REALLY in trouble.

I think the ABSOLUTE most I will consider paying is $350. per adult. I'm even annoyed at THAT prospect, but we're in touble because it's $500 right now.
