[JEP]

I just checked the fares for the exact flight that we are taking to Vegas. We paid $437 for the both of us. Look what it is selling for now:

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif So by my accounting, that leaves me $796.40 to gamble with. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bandit.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

See, a lot of people thought Kristie was preaching about reserving early because airfare and hotel rates skyrocket as certain dates approach!

Guessing that's NWA coming from MSP. I know when I checked airfare 6-7 months in advance flying from MEM-Appleton, WI for Oshkosh, it was close to $700 per person, and that was a DISCOUNTED fare.

Nope, (no 737's in their fleet). I tried NWA, but they were quite a bit more at the time. I am actually flying America West. They had a super duper special when I bought. You can still get there on the days I am flying for around $200, but you have to take the redeye home on Sunday Night/Monday morning. That would be way too late. Got to get home and pick up the kiddies from Grandma's.
