Most carriers are showing the fare at about $300 to $350. this seems high to me. Try Shermans travel or the travel section of American express for cheaper fares. And always give southwest a look!

It depends: When are you flying? FYI the cheapest itinerary is almost always Saturday to Tuesday. Also, try to avoid holidays if you can, as these are high-demand times and the prices are almost always higher. It also depends on WHEN you book your tickets. If booked months in advance you can save up to $100 on the airfare in total. If booked a week before the departure date, the airline is then clear that you're desperate for a ticket and will almost certainly jack the price up way higher than it would normally be. Also, check on craigslist.com in your area to see if anyone is selling vouchers they've received from the airlines. There's almost always someone trying to get rid of a Southwest voucher out there, and if you can get your hands on one, you'll likely get it for less than face value. You might even trade something you don't need for it..and get it for free. Lastly, try one of the following websites. Each will list the best fares they're receiving from the airlines and lay them out very clearly for you. Keep in mind, however, that these sites do not project Southwest flights...don't ask me why. For that information you'll have to go the the website. www.travelocity.com www.orbitz.com www.hotwire.com Happy flying!

Depends when you go. I checked Farecompare for you, which shows the current prices between 2 airports for the upcoming 11 months. It shows there's a great sale if you can fly in May, only $178 round trip, total with taxes and fees, for nonstop flights with USAirways. Best and cheapest to book direct from http://www.usair.com http://www.farecompare.com/fare-search/year.html?destination=PHL&s=r&t=r&departure=HOU&type=homepage2#Select_Month -- cool site lets you see fares and sale history, plus sign up for sale alerts with just your email address.
