It's very interesting how the airline industry works. 
Last week I priced a flight to St. Louis from Bangor
for $376.  Today, it's $650.  From Portland it's $516.
 Charge what the market will bear.  I wonder if there
is any relationship between the rate hike and Maine
traveling to the Frozen Four.  Fortunately, I have
some frequent flyer miles which will work.  Most of
the time it's difficult to use them for a fixed
itinerary.  

When you consider that tickets are included in this
package the University is offering a pretty good deal
at $640.

Regards,
Dave
