What I have found is that flight prices are pretty much set at the same price untill about two weeks from the departure date. Then they tend to go down quite a bit untill about the week before the departure date, then they go through the roof. Today I bought a round trip ticket to Orlando on the 17th returning on the 21st (Rachel and I are driving down to Miami for Tiesto:toothless ) Now I have been looking at flights for about a month and the price was about $260 untill today. Today they were listed for $180 on expedia so I went to buy the damn flight and there were no seats available when I went to check out....then it turns out....that same flight jumped up $5. So I went to priceline.com and got the same flight I wanted for $182. Then just for the hell of it....I logged back onto expedia and the damn flight was available again for $180....wtf??? Two weeks ago I scored a $160 round trip to Orlando this thrusday. I have found that its cheepest to fly on thursdays and mondays. The reason I didnt wait longer to buy my flight on the 17th was I was afraid the price would go back up over $200. So I guess im asking for your advice on buying tickets online, special deals that you know about and so on. Thanks, Bri fr0st I use either jetblue or song airlines both have commuter flights to palm beach FL and tickets normaly run about 140-170 vtec junkie quote: Originally posted by fr0st I use either jetblue or song airlines both have commuter flights to palm beach FL and tickets normaly run about 140-170 Jet Blue doens't fly out of Pittsburgh.....can you hook me up with a link to song airlines??? Thanks John:toothless Sunshine79 song= http://www.flysong.com/home/index.jsp i have found that you can often get a better deal when you go directly to the airline website. you usually save at least the $5 surcharge expedia or travelocity tacks on. try: http://www.spiritair.com/ http://www.jetblue.com/ http://www.aa.com/ http://www.airtran.com/ I still love travelocity. Go to http://travelocity.com/ and in the box on the left where you select flights, check the box that says FLEXIBLE DATES. This will show the best flights for about a three month period. It brings up a calendar that shows all the available days to fly. This has been the best for me when I do have a little flexibility in traveling. Happy travels! :) -BRee drizzt81 might want to try something like this too: http://www.sidestep.com/go.html?tk=EKNAOXB1XXXX0003741 CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
