Yikes! I just checked air fares from Tampa to Minneapolis and I'm looking at about $400 RT.
That's just crazy! TPA is a Southwest hub and I thought I'd be able to get to Minneapolis for a decent rate. Not so. The fare, with 1 change of plane is over $400.
Delta has a better fare but the times are awful and they charge for each checked bag.
The unrest in Libya is being blamed for the higher fares but I'm not sure I can believe that. Are the airlines being opportunistic? I truly don't know.
My hope is that fares will come down when people stop flying due to these new high fares. Yeah, I'm a dreamer.
So how will the increase in air fares, effect your attendance at Netroots Nation in Minneapolis in June?
Damn, I don't want to miss another one!
