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. |
Atleast domestically that's true.
I fly to Ft lauderdale when i go home and fly back from miami. One way flights are cheaper too :) |

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.

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. :D
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 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 somewhere instead of just going straight to the airlines directly |

thats fine, Ill pay $30 extra for better handling with my fare. I get ed by orbitz I pay 2x the bull. 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? :tongue2
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 |
