Yes, am totally freaking also...and with good reason. I've got 20 years in the business and i've never seen tickets selling so high or frequent flyer seats so hard to find. There is not a chance we'll have enough points to come up with even one ticket...we know a few people in that income bracket but most aren't faring too well. Airlines are doing funny things with inventory. I can site when seats used to be put in, nowadays everything has been shot to H*** and nothing is dependable anymore. A couple of markets in the US have crazy low flights in their tariffs. If you are flexible like Gumbie...than you might be able to get them. However, if are like us and the most of the rest of the working world I wish you good luck and the patience of a saint. I have been looking constantly...not just for myself,but for clients also. It's not easy, I'm not giving up, but I'm taking the first decent deal that flys my way and advising clients to do the same. Also, it's not just this market that's affected. It's Salt lake and Denver for the skiiers, it's the Miami/Fll market for the cruisers, it's Vegas...It's Europe. Not just STT.

Also...prior to the agency experience...I have three years airport airline experience. Lazy days of summer compared to the industry today...oh don't I miss it...
