Why are flights so expensive here??? I can't get out of this city for less than 300 bucks

I'm not sure, unless you are taking a flight to NYC on JetBlue. I have noticed that flights out of the airports in Rochester, Buffalo and Alabny are cheaper, but they are bigger metros too. I found out that many Canadians from around Ottawa take flights out of Syracuse though.

Yeah I notice that Rochester is cheaper...but its not that much bigger that Syracuse! Who has the power to regulate the prices in this city??

I wonder about that too. For what it is worth, Rochester has a metro of just over 1 million, while Syracuse's is around 740,000.

Does anyone have any secrets to getting good deals on flights in Cuse?

Where are you trying to go?

[Syracuser]

Either Ft. Lauderdale or West Palm Beach

Maybe this can work: JetBlue Online Booking (http://www.jetblueairways.com/cgi-bin/skylights.cgi?intcmp=minibooker - broken link)&

It seems like a trip to West Palm Beach is cheaper than one to Ft. Lauderdale.

This might be another option too: US Airways | Airline tickets, vacations & business flights

Thanks for the links. I normally book from either website. I tried to book a flight out in march and it was outragious! I guess because I was arriving/departing on weekends.
