Unless there's an international festival in Lubbock this week I didn't hear about!
Omaha-Kansas City? $779.36
Guys, you're missing the point. There's this myth that HAL overcharges on interisland fares, when all the evidence says this isn't true.
Someone will find a $49 fare from somewhere to somewhere, and that's great. I'm just trying to be Joe Q. Public here and pretend I need to get somewhere on Monday morning.
So long as SWA keeps doing what it's doing with the fare structure, there's room for everyone.
I could give a $hit about this silly argument, but the reason for those prices is because it is spring break in the central time zone. Every flight is sold out this weekend pretty much to and from anywhere in the middle of the country. My wife is nonrevving and had to drive 200 miles to another station to get out of this time zone.
Back to sniping at one another over things that none of us can effect.
