This information is not correct. Delta announced fares to/from Cincinatti
*as low as* $99 round trip.  The new fare they announced from Cinci to
Seattle is $318.  Delta has a $298 RT weekend only fare (I didn't check
this one, but the listed fare code usually requires departure on Sat only
with return that Mon or Tues); NW is offering a $248 RT from Cinci, (14-day
advance; didn't check other rules on it).

Almost all airfares, both domestic and international from U.S., are very
high right now.  This is *not* a good time to buy.  Be on the lookout for
the next *real* airfare sale if you care about getting a good price.
