Odds are there'll be sales before then. I'll let you know when I see a sale.

You know, for May and for Atlanta, there's actually a fair possibility I can attend. Since Atlanta is a main interchange for international flights, it could be affordable.

Just because I'm bored:
Right now I'm seeing flights around $250 from Chicago, NY, Baltimore, Cincinnati; Raleigh/Durham; $275 from Boston; $300 from Columbus, Denver; $350 from LAX, San Francisco; Seattle's at about $400. And like Ginger said, this far out, chances are things will drop before then. With both AirTran and Delta hubs, it's usually possible to find a deal.

If I recall correctly, Atlanta is the hub for Delta? I'd check with them first. I can get a ticket out of Chicago for around $200 right now. If I try to fly from Madison? $400. Eep! I think I'll take the bus to O'Hare, it's around $25. Talk about savings.

It is, I just called my travel agency. But Delta is a little pricey for international flights, darn them.

Milwaukee, too - about $215 right now for a handful of non-stops.

SA, I'd wait for a sale. They definitely will come down.

I was going to wait to buy my ticket, but I may just pony up now. I can't see the prices going much lower!
ETA: Do you think the prices from O'Hare will go down much? They just seem so ricockulously reasonable right now.

Oh, also - Clark Howard, radio guy in Atlanta, has a special page on his site for travel deals for Atlanta: [link] Definitely worth checking frequently.
ETA: For instance -
Round-trips on Northwest to Halifax, Nova Scotia are $176 on any available day and on seasonal trips taken over the next 10 months.

Let me check with the hotel today to make sure nothing has come up since last week before you make reservations.
That's probably as good as it gets from Chicago, Sail.
Atlanta is the main Delta hub. The main discount airline serving Atlanta is AirTran, and it's usually AirTran sales that drive the market.
As Brenda says, Clark Howard is the travel guru. I subscribe to the e-mail list that you see on her link. (He's also a consumer advocate. It's a rare Atlantan who hasn't begun a sentence with "Clark Howard says.")
