Cheap airfare

[marko138]

Against my better judgment I might get on an airplane next week. I'm deathly afraid of flying...but I digress...



Where can I find the cheapest airfare?

You're hosed trying to buy a plane ticket a week out to get cheap airfare.

Having said that, try Travelocity or Orbitz.

Yeah, I'm finding that out. I've checked them out and I'm just not paying $500+ dollars to get on a death machine.

This was a last minute decision to fly to FL for the PSU/LSU game. Sadly, there's a direct flight from Harrisburg to Orlando everyday from the HBG airport for $135/roundtrip....but they are booked solid every day next week.

Try Philly to Orlando, flight will be cheaper from a larger airport. It will cost you $11/day for parking in the extended lot. Also check Baltimore, Reagan, Dulles, and Pittsburg.

Checked Balto...but Pitt is too far. Philly...maybe. I'll check them.

I used Kayak. But God hates me and after watching the air fares for 2 weeks straight and having it slowly go from $300-320 I got some tickets before it got any higher and then 2 days I checked the flights and saw some for $220. Only me

I hear a lot of people use Twitter and friend companies like Best Buy, Delta, etc and the companies will Tweet coupon codes and special offers. Might be worth a shot.

I'm trying to do this as cheaply as conveniently as possible. Driving to Pittsburgh just isn't gonna happen. And I do not plan on renting a car.

I dont think so. Harrisburg International Airport is hardly that. There are only a handful of companies that come and go. The plus side is there are NEVER lines. Even on THanksgiving and Xmas they only see a few thousand passengers. The downside is prices are often a bit more expensive. But like I said, US Air does daily flights for $134 bucks.

Good plan. I'll look into it, Thanks!

Will look into that too. Thanks.

Not an option. Thanks for playing.
