I think so , but I checked a couple weeks earlier and the fares seemed comparable.Doesn’t that weekend butt up against thanksgiving week travel? That could explain the costliness.
You should wait.Looking at flights now there are close to 500 round trip. Anyone finds better deals anywhere let me know. Here or pm. ( going football vs Ga Tech )
You should wait.
Southwest hasn't released flights through Thanksgiving yet.
Regardless you need to be flexible too. If your wife is coming that opens up different city options. Savannah? Asheville?
Another option, drive:
Find a travel buddy.
Stay in Charlotte or Greenville for two nights. On gameday drive in and out for the game.
It’s nuts. , We just went RT from Syr to Cancun for less.We have a wedding in May in Atlanta and we continue to check flights. They have been near or over $500.
