Looking at flights for the family...
if you use the spreadsheet approach, you can see the escalation.
e.g.
JetBlue - wed's & Sat's.... JFK - AZS
as 'the season ' creeps forward, one way tickets are:
$350, then 3-4 days later become $500 and 3-4 more go to $700 (all approx)
in 10 days running up to the holidays they double.... these are one way fares.
no avoiding it if you have working children....
