Sounds like a good fare to me. We are going May 8th thru the 17th . Delta finally dropped to $229.50 (not sure if that included taxes), but I need a non-stop (DD is 4, DS is 15 months). Southwest never really came down (if I'm going to get the same price on Delta or Southwest, I'll take Delta with the assigned seat). I think USAir was down to $190 but with a stop. I think it is good deal and I'm getting ready to book at the $229.50 today. I've been watching the fares since September/October, and they're really not going down. Couple that with gas prices only going higher, and I don't think they are going to go much below this. I don't know when "Song" (Delta's new low cost airline) is going to kick into gear at BDL so not sure if that will affect anything yet (I'm assuming these flights will be turned over to Song).
