Anyone making plane reservations for their summer vacations yet?

[gristy]

From what I can remember from last year, it looks like prices are up at least 20%.

1. Yes, airfares are no joke this year.

:scared:

2. I just booked and no substantial change from this time last year.

Actually was cheaper than I expected. East coast to West coast flight that is.

The international flight was cheaper as well.

3. Delta is running some great fares

of course you risk being stranded.

4. I got Houston to Chgo. over July 4th for 183 r/t. GOOD PRICE!

5. I was stuck in Florida (NOT a vacation) over the winter

so this will be one year I won't travel anywhere, unless it's a quick trip down to Mexico to stock up on pharmaceuticals, have a nice dinner, and stroll through the Juarez Mercado.

I will be delighted to stay put in town watching the tourists get lost on their way to Adobe Disneyland to the north.

6. Yes, I've booked for England in August

Fares were high, but no more than I expected. (I'm paying a bit extra for more legroom.)

8. Did you notice the LARGE fuel surcharge?

That's why we are going on a cruise this year instead of Europe. We went to Ireland last year for about 350 per ticket in June. This year, we were thinking of going to Italy, but the fuel surcharge was 120.00 per ticket on international flights!! The base fare isn't any worse but the taxes, etc... have doubled!

7. Vacation??? With what money? n/t

9. We don't fly anymore unless we have to..

even with high gas prices, we would rather just drive. We can go at our own pace, stop when we like

10. I've already made my backpacking reservations.

I HOPE I don't see or hear any planes.

11. Yes, r/t DFW to London in May/June. $642/person (m)

Thought it was pretty good.

12. Made reservations

to go to NYC for Easter Break. Got a really good fare on Jet Blue. 3 round trip tickets for a bit over $900. Not to bad.

Summer I'll just stay home and clean my house.

It's been a long time since I had anything like a vacation. No I won't have any of those luxuries.
