Airline fare... follow up

[PowerFreak]

Checked out PriceLine.com tonight... Phoenix to Hotlanta

Leaving Wednesday the 14th, coming back Sunday the 18th, $340 on Delta. There is one cheaper, but it came in too late for me. Non-stop too.

Mine's now booked.

See ya all in Hotlanta.

I can beat that - I got a nonstop flight from Milwaukee to Atlanta for the obnoxiously low price of $187. Of course, the requirements were that I fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday...so that just means I get a few extra days of vacation! I'll be heading down the Tuesday before PP and coming back the Tuesday afterwards.

Sweet, I found one on priceline for (Minneapolis to Hotlanta) $250, but I think me and my friends are going to road trip it. But hell it never hurts to look around considering the cost of gas.

Check out Expedia. I got my tickets there. That's where I found the cheapest deal. Delta air non stop from NYC to Atlanta for those same dates cost me $194, with taxes and fees $226.

Airtran Orlando to Atlanta $136...there in an hour....beats driving for six hours each way. Besides, I don't think you can drive it for less.

Round trip from San Jose to Atlanta, FREE. Gotta love having a work Amex card that I get to keep the rewards points on!

*edit - well technically not "free", still had to pay all taxes and security fees and stuff, about $68

Dang, when I saw you posted in this thread I was hoping you would've found an awesome airfare deal that I could use, too.

Prices seem to be going down bit by bit every week. I think the lowest I've found so far is around $275, and if I find anything for $250 or lower I'm just going to get it over with and grab it.

I got ya all beat... I'm a Flight Attendant and I'm flying for about $20 from Detroit!

I do have to fly standby though... and Ivan almost fucked me up last year with all the flight cancelations.

Last year I had a flight from San Diego to Atlanta for under 200 bucks. This year I think I'm about 250. You never know when the deals will pop up so you pretty much have to look every day and jump on something when it appears. And remember, the lowest prices are always available the day after you've booked yours

AIR FARE 181.38 TAX 54.42 AIR TOTAL USD 235.80

There's what I paid this time. Pretty sweet deal actually, although last year I got it for under 200 I believe. Its just too bad I'll arrive at 4:30 pm so I'll have to run to get to the first act eheh.

 

[Sautherom]

Aaarghh!!.. last year i paid $350 usd, this year i paid $470 usd, and i check the current fares and is $580 !! it's crazy !! all by delta nonstops

PRICELINE people, PRICELINE!

I bought my tix to Atlanta (for the BBQ) one week ahead of time for $250. One connection (which is no big deal for me anyway).

I love the name your own price. Start with something low like $10 and they'll tell you, if you raise it to X amount, they'll accept your offer. Pretty tricky way to do it.

"Hi, Bill!"
"Hi, Leonard!--" "!!!!!"





It also helps to book a bit in advance....you have to get very lucky (or be flying a relatively unpopular route) to get a great deal less than 7-10 days before your departure date. My roommate just found this out when trying to book tickets to see Iron Maiden's only US headlining show this year (in Denver).

If any of you haven't bought your tickets yet, check again. Big airfare sale going on right now. Denver to Atlanta roundtrip $208.
