Cheap airfare

marko138 · 12-25-2009, 11:48 PM

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?

Orbitz, travelocity, expedia, all those travel sites. Also try looking on the airline websites. the same seat on the same flight is gonna be different on each website

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.

Nothing is too far to drive to fly. Also take a look at the other airports in FL, especially if you are gonna rent a car it could be worth an extra 1-3 hour drive from a further airport.

I think you'll find that most of the prices are similar with the big brands. Does spirit fly out of h-burg?

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.
