I just plugged some dates into their system.

NOT cheap.

Perhaps the OP has other info that's verifyable.

HS10, good lookout. Check Christmas Shaleena and all flights connect in EWR. The fare is $3-400 less than yesterday. I'm getting $546 to 656 from WAS to POP, STI and SDQ on my dates around Christmas.
I wonder if the other airlines will match them??

The best I can find from Charlotte, NC (USA) to POP has been Jet Blue, however, it appears that it changes from different days of the week but still Jet Blue

HS10 was talking about the fares during the xMas holiday season (roughly 12/16/2011 - 01/08/2012). From ewr to pop/sdq/puj. These fares are 65% to 75% less than they were yesterday! I don't imagine this will last for long.

HS10 thanks for the heads up!

Not to split hairs, however the Holiday season as assumed not implied can run from Thanksgiving through January....my flight which was booked well over a month ago is cheaper by 50% from numbers quoted in May at $1100.00 PP....my flight is in early January and therefore would fall within the "Holiday Season" as assumed....

~I hawk the numbers almost daily for flights in and out of PUJ DIRECT from Newark....never a layover, always direct:classic::classic: And I will not pay more than this number so flight carriers will vary and so will locations either EWR or Phila...BTW....Im just sayin...

Also found a $450 round trip from PHL to POP. This is 1/2 of yesterdays price for travel over Christmas.

I am afraid that the trend is simply going up from now on :(
Let's hope it's stays the same until I book my tickets :)

Thanks HS10, flights from EWR (Newark, NJ) are a lot cheaper than yesterday. I checked a flight departing on August 5th to SDQ yesterday and the price has dropped $200 today. I can't comment on other departure cities but flights leaving EWR are much cheaper.

I think you will find with most airlines the day of the week determines the price, I have been tracking all and have found this to be true, example monday maybe $400/usd. tuesday $275. go figure and the next week the price and day will change

True but the OP is a great sale. Since the beginning of June it didn't matter what day you checked prices you could not find a ticket EWR-SDQ before Labor Day for less than $548 + taxes/fees. Today the price is $343 + taxes/fees for several dates before Labor Day. I have seen Continental do sales like this in the past and the sale usually lasts less than 24 hours. I got my ticket.........jejejejejeje
