My trip this last February to China, I paid 800 2 weeks before departure (Yeah, I procrastinate (working on that too)) but for this trip that I have planned for some time in March (or April), its already 1600! which is grossly ridiculous because since my team and I have not settled on a date yet, as the weeks go by, it could easily jump to 2000 per plane ticket before we get our plans set in stone. Is anybody else having the same problem? I travel quite a lot by plane in the US and it seems that the number of flights are being cut back. Air freight fee's are also climbing as well since my company ships mainly by air as well. Does anybody know why these things are happening? Danny

Depends on time, cheapest find about in the middle of Nov, most expensive around Christmas (and many more days). So maybe, when there are not much business people (many of them travel economy class, too), prices are lower. Carlos

After I read your thread, I check the site I use, I must report to you that some one wants to make big money of you. I see tickets from SFO to CAN x under $600.00 available on March 08. If you want I can let know about this site, in fact it is from Cali. Send me a message.
