tahnanLast year we flew* to Atlanta in December for about $240 a ticket.
This year, searching Delta's site for two arbitrarily chosen days a week apart around Christmas turns up $306/ticket, $386/ticket...
Of course, for Wednesday-Monday around Thanksgiving, its first suggestion is a $691/person ticket. It does have one for $400, if we're willing to take six hours to travel and go through DC. Followed by Huntsville, Alabama. Because, you know, it's hard for Delta to make it directly to Atlanta.
New policy: I'm not traveling anywhere I can't get by subway.
*Were supposed to fly. Flight was cancelled. But we bought the tickets, anyway.
