Given the recent price increases to most airfare this year, I think this $775 fare is relatively cheap.

I mean it's not "cheap" compared to all the years we've covered before this, but, it's "cheap" compared to what it normally goes for these days.

Flights are in Nov-Dec.

Here's a price drop due to a competitive matched fare (American vs Southwest).
