I keep hearing about people getting super cheap tickets but when I try to find some I always come up with double or triple what I've heard. Is there some place cheaper then cheap tickets .com?

Re: Cheap airline tickets.

OMC,<br /><br />Right now the best deals are found direct on the airline's website.<br /><br />Find out what airlines operate out of the airport you want to fly out of. Go to their website and check. Besure to check out different flight times and days as they do make a difference in the cost.<br /><br />Where are you looking to fly?

Usually those special deals are limited availability, and have tons of restrictions. A lot of them are last minute deals. Get on a mailing list at all the airline reservation places, and they will send you weekly specials.<br /><br />If your schedual is flexible, you can use them. If not, dont even bother.<br /><br />Ken

Re: Cheap airline tickets.

I am looking to fly to Atlanta to visit my sister. Funny thing is we can fly from Syracuse NY to Las Vagas for $119 per person but from Syracuse to Atlanta is $328 per person. May just bite the bullet and drive it. Trouble is with RA riding that far will turn my body to cement.

Re: Cheap airline tickets.

They get you from the smaller airports, and only the subsidized destinations have that lower airfare. Think Vegas or Orlando don't have anything to do with the cheap airfare to those cities?<br />Anyway, the best thing to do is a last minute thing. Try the bid-for sites and besides being flexible hope for the best!!<br />Good Luck!

Re: Cheap airline tickets.

one more cast<br /> a trick I have learned is click on the flexible dates. I use travelocity quite a bit and have found I can usually get the same dates for 1/2 price if I use the flexible option.

I don't know if they do it in North America but down here they often offer a cheap oneway fare and hit the hip pocket on the return flight. What I do is book the oneway online and then book the return flight oneway - its sound silly but it works.<br /><br />Aldo

AA, Delta & Continental all have $278 round-trips, 14-day advance purchase 1 night stay. USAirways is $218. Only DL is non-stop. If you can't get that fare quoted it's because they've sold out of that fare class for the day/time you want to travel.
