Higher airfare?

Anyone having to pay much more than expected with airfare here lately?

I have not booked yet but am browsing around for some of our upcoming trips, the prices are outrageous right now.

Higher, yes. Unexpected, no.

The cost of fuel has gone up exponentially where I live so to me, not unexpected that airfares are increasing too.

I never go into booking airfare expecting anything so I'm neither relived nor angry. For summer airfare there up about $60 per person from about a month ago, I don't know if that good or bad.

I just looked up my flights from 2 years ago and I actually got it overall cheaper this year. The flight to Orlando was more expensive but the flight from Orlando was more. I booked at some point in February this year however 2 years ago I booked in May so that could have something to do with it.

I booked a trip with miles that was pretty well priced recently as well as a couple of cash tickets this week when the prices dipped. Both were in line with what I have paid in the past year.

They've been saying airfare is going to go up because of fuel prices, so higher prices aren't unexpected.
