Plane Tickets

I've been looking for plane tickets for February and it's so amazing to me the difference in costs from one airline to the next. I am finding that flying out of a town within a half an hour from us would be cheaper in the long run then to drive 2 and a half hours to the airport and also probably having to stay overnight the night before in a motel. It all adds up. It takes a long time to search cause we want the best possible deal there is.
