[quote=Anonymous]Flight prices are more reasonable if booked early. If the Sunday after Thanksgiving is too pricy, look at Sat night prices. Christmas prices are less of an issue, as the finals schedule is often available well in advance and most colleges on semesters aren't butting right up against the holiday itself. Consider the difference in price between round trip plane tickets plus ground transportation and the cost of round trip gas (and 1 night hotel, if the 7-hour distance stands). There will be a difference, but not something a 100-200k college decision should necessarily hinge on. If 1k/year makes a huge difference for your budget, then let the child look for cheaper schools in their preferred states. Far too many financial factors for a college decision to hinge on the travel cost alone.[/quote]
