Raised Fare

[dl764]

My friend (who lives 15min. from ISP) just booked a quick ISP-PBI round-trip on WN. Leaving ISP on May 10, returning from PBI on May 14. The total round-trip fare, including all taxes and fees, is $139.10.
THAT IS INSANE! (for WN)

well, my friend said that. I think it is resonable for what you can pay on other airliners

Given that WN got to keep only about $100 of that (the other $39 went to various governments), it looks like a perfectly reasonable fare to me. $50 each way to fly from ISP to PBI? Can't drive it for that. Can't take a train for that little. Maybe Greyhound is that cheap. 24 hours on a smelly bus or a couple hours on a smelly bus? For me the choice is obvious.

If your "friend" can't see that traveling from Lawn Guyland to south Fla and back for a mere $70 each way is at least quite reasonable if not a bargain then he/she/it is either stupid of extremely cheap (of some of both)...

$139.10 round trip is a steal! I'd take that fare any day. Does any other airline have a better deal from the NYC area?
