Probably the only way you're going to get cheaper is to Priceline it.

if she is over age 65, southwest has a one way ticket for $129 , $129 x 2 = $258
that is leaving from hartford CT flying into the orange county airport

american trans air has a web fare for $361 from boston to LAX

what days are you looking to leave/return?

you need to give specific dates and times for leaving/coming back.

Well I need four tickets leaving out of nashville before thanksgiving and flying to norfolk and returning after thanksgiving. What can you find for me. I want non-stop and no turbo props.

$400 rt does not sound bad. Be glad you're not buying on the same day and paying $700.

If the $400 includes tax/security/gate fees, I'd take it.

A pern needs to buy early rather than later, b/c airlines only sell a certain number of seats on an aircraft at the cheapest rates, and they get sold first; so when they're gone, then the next cheapest seats sell, etc. Last to be sold are the most expensive seats, so the latter you wait (in general) the more you pay.
If you buy thru priceline, make sure you can make that flight, b/c if you miss it you can't fly. And you can't leave on an earlier flight by standing by.
If you screw up w/ priceline and buy the wrong date, or your plans change, too bad--short of a death, you are screwed.
