We were able to get our flights for 165 before taxes...203 after...from Oklahoma to Chicago OHare. I actually looked online at the Melaleuca travel options, found a price and then called my local travel agency who booked the same flight for me for the same price. I have found that my travel agent usually gets me just as good a deal as looking online. However, 2 years ago when we flew to Florida, we got the best deal by calling American Airlines directly.
