Feb school vacation prices from Boston?

Trying to get a feel for what to expect for flight prices around February school vacation in 2014. I know the rates will open soon, but was wondering what others paid for their flights for this past February? Thinking about a trip but not if the airfare is exorbitant! TIA !

We flew out of portland maine this past February and for two adults and two kids it was about $1300 round trip. That was week after school vacation. The year before we went on vacation week and just two adults and one kid was about $2300! would have been cheaper to drive that year but didn't have the time. Hope this helps, sometimes it's about a $100 cheaper for flights out of Boston rather than portland when I have checked. Not enough to really make us change airports though.

Thanks Dsnyfireman, I'm just trying to get an idea of cost. I know it'll be more expensive than other times we've flown, but I just wanted to get an idea of what others' paid this past Feb. Although I check other airports, driving/parking costs have to be added in and often it works out cheaper overall to stick with Boston since we live close and it's easy to just get a ride!
