These prices aren't helping anything!

I was listening to Clark Howard (syndicated radio consumer issues/money host specializing in travel deals) on the radio today and he announced that AirTran was offering $69 to the Northeast and he was driving from ATL to BHM to catch a SWA Tampa flight for which he payed $29!

$39 after all fees. Thanks to these marketing departments for lowering the BAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
