First off I want to say thank you for your sincere responses, most boards would have laughed me off the message boards. 250 is on price line with the base fare then it adds the fees and taxes afterwards. Looks like I'm going to be flying out of Charlotte. The bing flight predictor says flights are expected to climb another 50 bucks based on 75% volatility. So it looks like I should buy now. It just angers me that last week when flights out of Charlotte were 142 non stop on jet blue I waited rather than bought it.
