Weird Flight Math

Good: I can book the time off.
Bad: Since yesterday, airfare to Phoenix has doubled.
Worse: Airfare from Las Vegas to Calgary has tripled.

What airline? US Air is still the same price as yesterday - $111 USD before tax.

I checked with several of the travel companies (Expedia, Orbitz, etc). It was $114USD yesterday and it's $228USD today. Do you have a preferred URL for this sort of thing?

US Air's own site, in this case:

United seems to have a flight from Vegas to Calgary (unfortunately through SFO, but...*shrug*) for $81 after tax. *blink*

After tax? Damn.

Yup. That was from Yahoo, but United's own site has it at $74. I'd say get the combo with the longest layover and cab up to the Bay for a lunch overlooking the water. :-)
