What did you pay for your flight?

Just curious what people paid for their flights. I bought mine Feb 9 Direct Flight USAIR from Boston $586 includes tax 6/28-7/12. Found out yesterday same fight cost $130 Less. Sometimes it's a crapshoot.

We paid $615 out of Atlanta on Delta non-stop.
On sale the fare went to about $420.
The fare eventually settled between $480 - $520.
Our flight was full.
If we had waited would we have been able to get a seat?

I paid 497 for my ticket and 397 for my daughters. We are flying with US Air August 4th until the 11th from IND to AUA. The tickets actually went down in price too! I still say I got a deal.

Also if you are purchasing a childs ticket make sure you call the airline direct and ask them if they have a childs fare available. Most places don't publish that they could when you call. Also try using websites like kayak.com and cheaptickets.com. I got my ticket prices off the web site for United. It was actually a US Air operated flight and was listed with US Air for way more than United. Sometimes you get lucky when you shop the fares.

I paid $393.70 r/t from Boston to Aruba. Great price! It's gone up since I purchased though.

I paid 900.00 round trip non stop on American flying business class.

RichBx, that sounds pretty high for JetBlue out of JFK.
