    I just bought JFK to STI for 450 in april for my dad yesterday morning. He says hes happy to pay anything under 500. I was of the opinion that anything over 400 for that time was too high. But different strokes for different folks, plus whats 50 extra dollars when your spending 3 weeks there anyway.

    Now that I am making my trips for up to 30 days it doesn't hurt so much to by a ticket at the higher prices. If I was under a week it would be a different story...

    Flights are FULL anywhere I go, so I guess more and more are willing to pay the higher price points... So yeah need to make adjustments like this... longer trips makes sense on paper at least. Problem there is you need discipline and pace yourself. That's something that has been near impossible for me.

    Found fares at 490 to POP from EWR end of March. SDQ was 484 in comparison. This is the first time I have seen it dip below 500.. Hopefully the trend continues. Booked a quick trip for starting March 23rd.

    I just paid $245 roundtrip direct from NYC to STI in January 2015. Before that I paid about $360 in December before X-MAS. I just recently booked for $570 to go in April to SDQ I thought it was because of spring break. Hopefully prices will come down later in the year. I use https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ . Its same database as other aggregates but it has better filters. Also ticket prices are lowest Tues-Thurs. The best prices I've found always around WED night. Hope this helps.
