Expedia: average airfare over the holidays is $383

Travel website Expedia, says the average domestic airfare for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas is $383, that's four percent higher than last year. Expedia says airlines are flying fewer routes now, flights are fuller than ever and airlines are tacking on extra fees. A simple, but valuable strategy: if you find a good fare, jump on it because the price might drop later on, but, not much.
