    I think the lowest ones you can find are:

    <A HREF ="http://www.southwest.com/hotfares/hotfares_air.html">http://www.southwest.com/hotfares/hotfares_air.html</A>

    If none is available then try this:

    http://leisure.travelocity.com/Promotions/0,,TRAVELOCITY|1756|air_main,00.html

    Best days are Tu, Wed, Thu. Buy thru Travelocity is cheaper than buy direct
    because Travelocity bought those blocks at wholesale.
    If all failed then try your local agents, they know some mix & match to save
    you money.
    Chuck, will you be there?
    Later,
    Mario

      I would but you would be putting me up for quite a while because the
      trip needs to occur between 5/12-5/24 :-D

        Thanks Chuck. So I wasn't far off with my thinking that it could be a
        crap shoot. I'll just keep checking everyday. Hey, are you going?

          I just bought a book called The Travel Detective... good book.
          It says to check right after midnight on wednesdays. Cause that when the
          revised pricing from the price wars goes into effect.
          And if the airlines make mistakes.. like those 1.13 airfares.. they'll
          be posted right then... Also... it says that the airlines
          change prices something like 250,000 (no typo there) per day!!!!
