The amenities that Virgin America offers will definitely be the thing to set them apart. I flew Virgin Atlantic to London, they had a full service bar on the 2nd floor

Originally posted by lücid i just booked a flight 2 nights ago to visit my mom in NY for her birthday in June; Thurs morn - Mon morn, and it only cost me $200, whereas it would have cost me $455 if i flew back on Sunday night. no difference to me since i land back home at 9:30am and can just go to work an hour or two later than normal. flying is fun. paying for it isn't.

Key things to flying cheaper. Do not, unless necessary, fly friday after 3pm through sunday. Try to book to leave and come back on Tues, Wed, or Thurs. Wed and Thurs optimum. Also, if you don't mind it, fly on the DAY OF holidays, as these days are least in demand.

i do the whole search when i'm looking for tickets - kayak, sidestep, airline websites, etc... usually i just end up booking straight from the airline unless expedia or orbitz or cheaptickets has an insanely unreal deal.

shitty thing is that i have a 50 euro credit for KLM/Northwest that i wasn't able to use because the flight had to be 150 euro or more (roughly $233) - so i didn't qualify and using the credit on more expensive flights wasn't going to save me any money compared to just booking a cheaper flight.

and i've got a credit for Midwest as well. looks like i'll be doing lots of traveling this year.

Yeah, I've got like $200 on Sun Country that expires at the end of this year, and I don't know when I'm going to squeeze a flight in.

yeah, obviously... but who chooses to book their vacation around such ridiculous dates.

i usually try to do Thurs - Sun/Mon if i can. long weekend FTW.

or when i went to Atlanta for my birthday last year, i flew back on Saturday so it was only around $130.

i flew from new orleans to chicago on thanksgiving day. non-stop round trip was $198 on orbitz.

parking was a biatch tho, cause everyone left the day before and so the parking lots were full.

totally depends on airports tho. i flew out out of new orleans which was 90 miles away whereas gulfport was only 10 miles away but the airfare out of that airport was literally 2x as much. was rediculous.

LOL I planned my whole toronto trip around that!!!! I left on Thursday and came back on Wed!

As soon as I have a job again, I am paying off my credit card and getting a flight to YYZ (Toronto) and YUL (MTL).

if you don't mind flying early, they are often cheaper at 530-700am flights too. almost everytime i fly i try to leave as early as possible...much cheaper than the 9am-3pm time frame.

edit,

airports tend to be less busy before 7-9am(and beyond) as well.

i like how most places have a "flexible date" thing where you can scan +/- 1-3 days before your original date...lets you see cheaper stuff

haha yeah. My sister and her fiancee are going to Ukraine for 3 weeks for their honeymoon. Flying out of SAN (San Diego) is literally $1000 more. $1200 or so from LAX to Moscow, 2400 SAN to Moscow. And this is the WINTER!!!!!!!!
