[Lnc-business] Airfare matrix with alternative dates for Fall meeting

[Ruth Bennett]

Mr. Lieberman pointed out that travel the weekend before Thanksgiving is
expensive.  I was a travel agent for nearly 20 years and the weekend before
Thanksgiving is one of the most expensive travel times of the year.  With
that being said, here is matrix of airfares for the dates originally
chosen, 2 weeks later and the weekend after that.

      314                                            314

Los Angeles                           463
      348                                            348


I did not check every city, obviously, but enough to get the idea that for
anyplace in the east or mid-west, that if does not make much difference.
It makes a great deal of difference to those of us in the southwest and
west.

These fares are all from Kayak.  I did not check Southwest or JetBlue and
of course airfares change constantly.

A motion anyone?
