I’m trying to go to Seattle to Philly in the beginning of August and tickets are $600-700? Even if I fly into JFK and drive it’s still $500. Is this normal? Any hacks that I can keep in mind to snag a lower ticket besides using points? I know gas prices and the world burning down are prob contributing to these prices, but jeez I thought I’d be safe booking multiple months in advance.

Domestic flights are expensive right now, for all booking windows. Might be better off waiting, but no guarantee the price doesn’t go up either.

Isn’t summer typically expensive? What if you flew into a different airport and took a cheap megabus or something like that (not sure if those are still operating)

Did you look into newwark

I've gotten aways with 400s before for it. Use to do that flight a lot.

Use skyscanner/google flights. Does your company offer flight corporate codes? If you don’t care about airline points and have a credit card with a travel section see what there flight prices are? points?

Set an alert on Google Flights so you know when prices drop.

Check skiplagged. Although not sure if you can find something good for long distance flights

Everythings really high right now it’s not normal

Revisiting Iron. Last month I mentioned Iron and derivatives had the right conditions to rise

BDRY went up 42%, and FSUGY 25%. With others seeing all times highs.

But we may be entering speculative territory.

The Baltic Dry points to alot of shipment in Iron's lanes so supply should be good, yet price is still going up, so not oversupplied.

Futures so high should point to shortages. Maybe due to Aus/China trade war.

In short: No idea whats going on, but there is money to be made

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
