at least a month ago but had to change the time this week (moving my kiddo home from college for a few weeks). Paid $150 just to change to a morning flight. That brought me up to almost $450 for one-way. I figured probably just because it was closer to when I'm flying, but it could be the oil prices too. This country is not in a good place right now.
