Price Check

I just checked the prices from Orbitz for a ticket in October, not 2008, but 2007. (you can't buy for October 2008 yet)

Just for comparison and an idea .... 10/4/07-10/18/07.

Here's what I got...

ORD (Chicago-O'Hare) - Berlin (TXL) = $628 (Brussels Airline)
ORD (Chicago-O'Hare) - Frankfurt (FRA) = $610 (Air India)
GBA (Green Bay) - Berlin (TXL) = $702 (Delta)
GBA (Green Bay) - Frankfurt(FRA) = $730 (Delta)
MSN (Madison) - Berlin (TXL) = $755 (Continental)
MSN (Madison) - Frankfurt (FRA) = $708 (Delta)

My idea is that by checking prices occasionally we might be able to better time the lowest price to buy. Of course, the market fluctuates, but we can also decide where and when to leave too.

I'm starting a spreadsheet.
