Airline travel is cheap - oh and another thing

I know times are bad but I just had to report that my daughter booked a flight for the first week of April - Round trip for 329 including tax.! That is the cheapest I have seen travel from Chicago/Ohare to PVR in years. She flys -non stop down there but has to change planes in Dallas for the homebound trip. Anybody else getting great deals? :lol:

I was wondering what are some of the tricks people here have used to get a cheaper rate on the price of airline tickets. We purchased two tickets to pvr in november 08 for this year and with the price of gas dropping now the price of tickets has also dropped. We called the first time to the AA-reservation but the person would not adjust the price to the current level . We called a second time and the person was kind enough to send us 50 dollar vouchers for the difference - (minus 150 bucks per ticket). Should we have pushed harder for the difference or used some other tactic?

Most airlines will adjust the price if the price goes down after you book. Did you ask to speak to a customer service supervisor?

We just booked tickets from Seattle for May 2-9 for 349.00 on American. I think that is the least expensive tickets we have ever bought!! We have to stop in Dallas both directions but for the price who cares! :lol:

i usually book early (6 months in advance) knowing all to well that times seats, and flights may change but that is always a risk. I checked my fares next May via US AIR today and they are still the same. Change of planes and customs are done in Phoenix rather than LAX which is a plus. They have dogs that sniff you so you dopers watch out! I also read recently that US AIR discontinued charging for soft drinks, water, coffee, ? How nice of them.

I go on line to sell off vacations ..Get their Great lowest price :) take it to a local travel agent and ask if they can beat the price...They can and have... :-)4
