Agreed. Dropping $1000 on airfare, lodging, event costs, dining and drinking requires careful consideration in my household budget.

The non refundable airfare is what would nail my wallet. I really want to go and would be bringing the Mrs. but when we listened to the weather reports as we took our vacation in Oregon last year, somehow I felt like I luckily made the right decision.

what to do what to do (fingers tapping)?

This is why I prefer traveling Southwest Airlines whenever possible, all of their fares are either 100% refundable or you get a 100% credit depending on circumstances. N0 $100 dollar fee to cancel/change a flight like, say, America West charges on their "non-refundable" fares. (Most of America West fares seem to be "non-refundable" so ya hafta pay that fee.)
I pose this question-any other airlines with generous cancellation policies out there like Southwest?
