Thank You Janet Yellen: Airfares Will Be Sky High This Thanksgiving and Christmas Seasons

KTVU San Francisco reports:

 If you're thinking about a Thanksgiving or Christmas flight for fun or a family visit, fasten your pocketbook. This year, there's a very real spike in fares, Christmas or Thanksgiving that could leave you cold turkey.

Carol Feiner, owner of the Airport Travel Agency at SFO reviewed the fares.

"I checked and the fares are pretty high this year.  I was a little surprised myself. For example, well Thanksgiving is the worst because there are so few travel days that people want to use.  New York, for example: $1,000 for a round trip.  Now, the published fare is $400.  What you're gonna find is probably closer to $1,100," says Feiner.
