USAir has it to Lga too for 59 each way plus fees.
these are great prices. I was due to go to Edison NJ for a dance competition in June and I was going to drive but I think now I may fly up there. Thanks for the tip.
You are very welcome! We all gotta look out for each other these days. Tight economy - and most of us have family/friends outside this state. Sure would be nice to be able to visit them more often.
I actually booked flights last week for September, CLT/FLL, $69 each way on USAir. We were going to drive, but decided it was worth it to spend a little more and fly. I hated the thought of getting off our cruise and having the 12+ hour drive back! Now the drive will only be a little more than two hours after we deplane (we live near Boone).
Thanks for the heads up - always good to spread the word on anything that's money-saving.

So glad I had the info to share! We usually drive down to Pt Canaveral for cruises - about 9 hours from here in CLT. Having to drive all the way back to Boone would really stretch my tolerance of that trip! I am really glad you were able to work it out so your trip will be a lot more comfortable.
Took an early morning flight this week to CLT from NYC.
Funny thing is when you take a 7am flight people in your house think maybe you're at the store for the newspaper.
My son got up and called me--"Hey where are you, can you drive me to the train station"?
I don't fly alot, but did fly Air Trans in February, and was very impressed with their operation and customer service emphasis. The gate people work very hard to get the flights off on-time. A couple of my flights were on the Boeing 717 / 200 (?), which seemed to feel more-spacious with a 2-by-3 seat configuration in coach.
The one aspect about Air Trans I didn't enjoy was going to your destination via NY or Atlanta. US Airways has spoiled me, since Charlotte is the hub for alot of the flights leaving Charlotte for southern destinations. Air Trans did start offering a direct flight from CLT to Orlando in April, and I hope that continues on other popular routes (Tampa, please ?).
US Airways puts out a weekly e-saver, listing listing weekend destinations they are offering at low airfares. A person can subscribe to the e-mail version of e-saver, which comes out Wednesday, or look for it in the Thursday (?) Charlotte Observer. The fares in the e-saver are good only for the coming weekend.
After reading the posts on this thread, I went to the usairways.com website to see what the current price was for a pair of tickets I purchased on 05/16 to Tampa.
I expected to see the ticket price increase as I got closer to my travel date - 06/16. Instead, it has dropped by $80 for the roadtrip.
I called US Airways' customer service, and requested a credit for the difference. I was told that any change to the tickets ... including a price adjustment ... would still involve a service charge of $150. I think that's ridiculous, considering I've already been charged for the tickets, and won't be able to use them for a couple more weeks.
Since the phone call this morning, I've also sent an e-mail to their customer service.
Any additional suggestions on how to address my concern with US Airways would be appreciated.
