For example, we flew to Korea on Singapore Air (which, I agree, was awesome!) and it was the cheapest flight out there (something like $750 one-way, if I recall correctly). I would bet that is below the average price for that flight, even then. Since I tend to price-shop extensively anytime I buy a flight, I've noticed how much a couple days or a week can make in the price difference in a flight, and I think a lot of that is due to flight load (also, I would bet that, due to the recession, airlines were offering a lot more deals when you went home for your sister's wedding). A long-winded way to say...don't forget to account for supply and demand. :) Also, please let me know if you will be back in San Diego...I will be back briefly in early July, and then we'll be back for about a week in early August in between a trip to South America and moving to Houston. We would love to see you if we are in San Diego at the same time!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378203392194311454noreply@blogger.com
