Yesterday Tracy and I got my flight booked to return to the Twin Cities over the holidays. I'm flying out of San Diego on Tuesday, Dec. 23 and will be in town through New Years before we road trip it back to SoCal.
We had a little difficulty finding a reasonable one-way flight, but Sun Country turned out to be the best option. It was interesting watching the price of the flight change from one hour to the next. Originally, I wanted to fly home at 4:45 p.m. so I could get in a full day of work, but that flight went up $125 during the same day. It started at $219 and is now over $400, even with 70 open seats. We were going to book it when we first saw it at $219, but I wanted to wait 12 hours for payday ... bad idea.
The early 9:45 a.m. flight at that point was $145, but I was holding out to try and save a vacation day by flying at 4:45 p.m. Not to mention I have to work this weekend to stay caught up, so missing an additional day in the office isn't the best idea right now. At any rate, we played the game of watching the fares bounce around and decided to jump on the $219 early flight before it got too expensive. Three hours later, Tracy checked the price again on that flight and it was $269. If somebody knows how or why fares bounce around so much, fill me in.
