high price for Phila. to Tampa flights

I just booked on US Airways for a January non stop flight. I checked the far out flights for Air Tran & Spirit (around Dec.) and also Southwest (Oct.) (they don't book January yet) and they were all about $250. I am afraid that the non stop flights will not come down so I booked it @ $246 each. Wow, that seems high to me.

Is this how it will be from now on or do you think sales will come?

That seems like a decent fare to me, especially in today's fuel situation. Not to mention, fares to Florida are typically higher for winter travel than summer.

I guess I would LOVE to see airfares under $250 again!! Being here in Des Moines, we are at a real disadvantage when it comes to getting anywhere cheaply.

Re: high price for Phila. to Tampa flights

Thanks for the replies. I saw a piece on the news last night that said we will see completely full airplanes with higher prices from now on. They said 100 million more flyers expected this summer so the airlines don't feel pressured to reduce prices.

Oh, and they also said the airlines are having financial hardships.
