I can get tickets home for the holidays for just under $700, or just under $800 if I want to avoid Chicago and Denver and get out at a reasonable hour. I used to think getting home from Chicago for just under $600 was a raw deal.
Ah, the joys of living in Ohio.
I'll get home for the holidays, sure, but nobody's getting presents this year.
Tra-la!

No Christmas for You

Bummer. I wish air travel wasn't so damned expensive. My own flight to Georgia this year is just going to be out of reach; no trip home again for the third year.
At least all that money you're saving on medical expenses gets to gop toward something fun! :-)
Have you looked at flying out of Cincinnatti? Getting down there would be a bit of a pain, maybe, but you might save a couple of hundred bucks.
No way to get to Cincinnati. The roommates are out of the town and the boyfriend has his most crapalistic work schedule right around then, sadly.
I can't remember where exactly in Ohio you are, but if you're near Columbus or Cleveland you can get way better deals at Southwest. Now I personally hate some of their policies (I'm always afraid they'll make me buy another seat, although they never have), but we're talking about getting an $800 flight down to about $300 roundtrip, at the outside. So I'd say if you can swing it, go with'em. You can look up/purchase tickets at southwest.com.
I know this because I am a cheap bastard. Also broke. :)
Der, it's right in your profile. Well, what you can do is book a greyhound to get you to and possibly from Columbus (which is the closer of the two Southwest choices). I looked it up roundtrip and it only added $34 to your price. You can book the tickets online and either pick them up there or have them mailed. Of course, that means getting TO the Greyhound station, and I have no idea how close that is to your place, although it's probably still cheaper to pay a cab/local bus to get you there because it'll still be about half the cost of the other flights.
That's insane. I just bought tickets to France for $800. Just get your own private plane.
