After hearing all of these reports I am thinking of for two people leaving on a Thur (11 Jun) and coming back on a Sun (14 Jun) we should be able to find pretty good deals. WRONG. The best I can find is well over $300 per person once you add in all the ridiculous fees they charge you.

So I decide to go a different route. Maybe there are some military discounts out there floating around. So I try a few "military travel" sites...what a joke! These people are simply ripping of the men and women of our military. The prices were 30% higher in most cases.

Unfortunately driving is out of the question in this case so I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and spend $650 on a few days in KY. I guess my buddy better be happy I am willing to do what I can to attend. Thanks for listening everyone as the only purpose of this thread was to vent so in closing...**** the Airlines!

I agree **** the Airlines!!!





I only fly because I have too for work. Otherwise I would go by car or not go at all. An Airlines I won't mention (U****d) totally screwed up my last international flight after charging me top dollar. Not happy!!!
