Last week flights from Boston were $222 today $138 (round trip)
I think last year I paid about $115 so they may go down even more.

Wow what airline?
They are still waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy to high from calif. $100+ higher than before. I keep checking everyday:(
 
southwest is having an internet special, $49 one way.
 
Another good site to check is www.kayak.com. They include results from most of the major airlines/travel sites, so it's one-stop comparison shopping.

I live in Dallas so we have been limited on Southwest - I just heard the other day they are expanding out of Love Field to 16 more cities I am hoping that Chicago might be one of them

Right now, Airtran is having a big sale. You can fly from Charlotte to Chicago for National Conference for as little as $137.30 all taxes included. The cheapest fare is for departing Saturday July 14 and returning on Wednesday, July 18. It is $30 more to fly on Sunday but then you have one less Hotel night. Just wanted to pass this on! It is the cheapest I have seen in a while.

If you fly, when do you get there and then leave? Would I want to fly in the day before and leave the day after?
 
Are any of your clustermates going? If so, I would travel with them...If not, you can arrive on the first morning or the afternoon/evening before the first day so that you can sightsee. On the last day you can leave in the evening after the last session or leave the following morning. It just depends on how much time you'd like to spend in Chicago sightseeing.

Wow, from where? I'm from Ohio too, and last I looked (a couple of weeks ago) they were about $120 R/T from Columbus to Chicago on American. I'd take the $49 deal tho!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why have flight prices decreased compared to last week?

Flight prices can fluctuate due to various factors, including changes in demand, airline promotions, and adjustments in fuel prices. A decrease in demand for certain routes or an increase in available flights can lead to lower prices.

Are the lower flight prices expected to last?

It's difficult to predict how long the lower prices will last, as they can change rapidly based on market conditions. It's advisable to monitor prices regularly and book when you find a deal that fits your budget.

Should I book my flight now or wait for further price drops?

If you find a price that fits your budget and schedule, it's generally a good idea to book now. Waiting for further drops can be risky, as prices may increase again due to rising demand or limited availability.

How can I find the best flight deals?

To find the best flight deals, consider using fare comparison websites, signing up for airline newsletters, and setting price alerts. Flexibility with travel dates and times can also help you secure lower fares.

What should I do if I booked a flight at a higher price?

If you booked a flight at a higher price, check the airline's policy on fare adjustments. Some airlines may offer credits or allow you to rebook at a lower fare, especially if you contact their customer service soon after noticing the price drop.
