US flight prices, ouch!
I'm currently trying to book a few flights, and the prices are just rocketing. Hubby needs to get to Ottawa next week, I had a quick look online Thursday and it was $540 (how I wish I'd booked it then!) and today it's over $700!!!
Anyone got any suggestions for websites I can try (I usually use Orbitz) or is this just a upward trend right now?

It's ALWAYS worth checking the airlines own sites too. Have you tried Travelocity.com?
