air fares

[cellio]

When I flew to Boston in early November, I think my round-trip ticket was $120 (not on a discount airline). I'm looking at options for my trip in July and the cheapest tickets are more than twice that, with the non-sucky ones being over $300. What happened? Is that all just summer effect? Oof. (Yeah, fuel prices -- but they aren't that much lower last fall...) JetBlue, by the way, is not competing all that favorably with old-school players like United. I'm using kayak.com to find fares.

Direct flights are even more expensive. Does anyone know the most expedient way to find out which connecting airports have free wireless? So far I've seen JFK, DCA, LaGuardia, and Cincinnati among the options.

When you log on to a wireless network, you should get an indication of whether or not it is secured. If it isn't, you don't want to send any important private information.

The catch is that a secured network either means that you have to obtain (and probably pay for) a password.
