While most students will be packing up and heading home for Thanksgiving today, students such as John Gilliland will be staying in Fort Worth because of rising airfares.Gilliland, a sophomore marketing major from Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, said he's staying in Fort Worth because he waited until the last minute to buy a plane ticket, and now the prices are too high.
"The tickets were going to cost anywhere from $800 to $1,500," Gilliland said. "I've never seen prices that high."
