An unfair airfare affair
I don’t know if it’s because of the World Cup, but flying to Europe is freaking expensive right now. More than $2k from SFO. In March 2003 I flew to Brussels for $300. Sure, the US was about to invade Iraq and no one wanted to fly then, but still.
Prices drop dramatically after July 10th. They should have discounts for people who promise not to watch any games or even to talk about soccer.
On a related note, I came across kayak.com. In theory it seems pretty neat, but I find the exact same stuff there, that I find with expedia, so maybe there’s no point to kayaking.
