It is a brand new airline. They can't just fly everywhere right off the bat.

haha

Wtf.. this stupid airline only travels from 5 cities to 5 cities and they are all the same. No wonder their stock was worth 20 cents not a month ago.

The 5 cities that they fly to, are all high traffic, major hub, cities.

orbitz and all those sites like it, suck. Why? The "deals" aren't really deals. There are ways to get all those same deals direct through the carrier.

ok, so round trip airfare from chicago for munich for $600 was not a deal? man your thoughts on money are way fucked!

every time i fly i always use orbitz and its always cheaper than the airlines directly.

*ALWAYS*

I must say the airlines do give better deals than orbitz or cheaptickets from what i have seen.

And ya they are major hubs, but it is still SO limited wtf.

During the winter? Yeah that's normal price. seriously.

Mario: yeah but they are BRAND NEW. They cant add destinations every month. Each airport has to have terminal space and they have to pay for that. An airline has to have revenue flow (I know, it is funded by branson) before it can add destinations.

No ATL = no major hub

Sale started today, and you must be an Elevate (their frequent flyer program) member to have even known about this. I'd recommend joining. It's free and worth it.

you got me there then dude. that's rare. RARE. What year did you go? 2002-03? yeah ok, that was right after 9/11, they were hurting for business overseas.

Going where? Seriously, they have sales all the time to get people to ride. Everyone I know that rides, LOVES the airline. In fact, Jake JUST used them to fly from Seattle to LA this past weekend. He LOVED it. Said that he would use them for EVERY flight he can.

round trip for $400 is a decent deal imo and that's why i snatched that up yesterday. i'll hate myself if i could have saved another $100 if i just waited a day.

haha yeah totally. Just join their Elevate club and you won't have to worry too much about that in the future. Not that it won't happen again, but at least you will be less likely for it to happen.

What are you going to LA for?

don't make excuses...if everyone was hurting for business, then EVERYONE's fares woulda been lower...not just shit you can find on orbitz/travelocity.

Want major hubs?

if i wanted to go back up to chicago from new orleans:



vs American Airlines directly:




anyone that has any common sense would know to shop around when paying for plane tickets. one hour on the web and you can find cheap shit somewhere instead of just going straight to the airlines directly

thats fine, Ill pay $30 extra for better handling with my fare. I get fucked by orbitz I pay 2x the bullshit. Seriously, I used travelocity and had this problem. I refuse to ever use those type of places again unless I'm saving 30%+. Also, www.sidestep.com is your friend.

LOL, handling your fare? what are they going to put it on a pillow w/ a mint?

everytime i've gotten "f'd" by orbitz, i received a free ticket. in fact, i've still got that one from NWA that i need to use. i was thinking about going to LA actually

oh and the AA.com price can be 289. www.sidestep.com even shows it.
