Before anything else, I’d like to announce that this is my 200th post to this blog.  Quite the milestone all in all.

USA Today’s Today in the Sky Blog is reporting that several airlines have removed their advance purchase requirement for bargain fares this holiday season.   Their source, Tom Parsons (CEO of BestFares.com), says that airlines such as American Airlines, Delta, United, Northwest, US Airways, Frontier, Airtran and Midwest have all removed the advance purchase requirement through January 4th.  Continental still has a 3-day advance purchase requirement.  This would seem to imply that holiday travel is extremely soft this season so far.
