I booked out of Kansas City last month for a trip in Sept. Paid 1788 for 5 round trip non stop either way (Live in Liberty area too for those that posted). It was 179 each way per person. Has gone up about 5 bucks a ticket since.
Because of fuel prices i wanted top get locked in. In 2009 we went and spent less than 150 per person round trip on AirTran.
I would expect the worst and hope for the best.
