What did you pay for Christmas airfare?

I'm finding some for $285 on 12/24, but would like to know what you paid. I'd rather leave after Christmas, but the fares jump. I'm especially curious about Southwest fares.

SWA doesn't release Christmas fares until Tuesday 6/23. I'm imagining they will be steep from here in New England as are Feb and April vacation.

I got AirTran for $272 including taxes out of PHL leaving 12/26. They had some cheaper if you left before 12/26. I booked last week the same day they released their web specials. Now the web specials are gone and the higher fares are posted again. Most of the seats are gone from the filghts I selected too. Christmas week fares go fast. Prices are higher during that week too. Don't wait too long.

I had found some for Airtran ( from PIT) for 285, but leaves 12/24. I really wanted to leave a few days later. Maybe I'll see what SW has on Tues.

I bought tickets for a 7:25 AM flight on 12/25 for $88 each-departing from Milwaukee. Midwest Airlines.
