FUCK YOU, airlines! I'm gathering money together to get a flight but the prices keep going up. Prices of the flight I need (inc. taxes):
Last week: $900
Monday: $955
Wednesday: $1170
Today: $1205
If I have to wait until Monday it'll probably be $1350+

This is not going to be good for the Canadian Airline industry. It's already in shambles on a good day. If the government bails out Air Canada again I'm going leave a flaming bag of poo at 24 Sussex Drive.

are you looking at the same date? cause they get more expensive the closer you get to the date.... then they get real cheap for seat sales.

It's the same shit as always, the prices keep going higher and the service and policies suck! I missed my flight tonight from Ft Lauderdale, and I have to spend the night here at the airport thanks to the airline's fault. Any of you guys around this area by any chance?

Can't blame the airlines, they are on verge of bankruptcy in good times.
Blame big oil for not having the foresight to drill where/when they could (they could be doing it now without any expanding drilling privileges, but aren't, our gov't and every country that has oil).
Where are you going? My tickets are about 15-20% higher than last year.

Worth keeping an eye on as prices tend to fluctuate all over the place with continental. A flight from here to the US a couple of weeks ago had been 500, then went down to £280 and now its up to £700ish...
