Check it out Soarin08...who knows?MmeLeota wrote:Ok...I was on Southwest Airlines' site today and it looks like they are having a sale to celebrate their 40th anniversary!!!!
There are some pretty good deals out there, but you have to book by the 23rd (I think...check the site to be sure). Some one way fares were as low as $40!
Might as well start saving. Even if it doesn't work to go this time, then you've got the money saved up for another trip!Soarin08 wrote:Just looked and I could go again in September for $326. My best friend (hockeygirl) is supposed to be going in September so we might could meet up and stay together. I'll know soon if I can, just have to raise an extra $400!!
That's a great deal... so long as the flight times are what you are looking for. I was able to get prime flight times for our upcoming trip for under $250 a head by booking each person separately on one ways. I honestly would say that my airfare this year is in line to what we have gotten for the past couple years... if not slightly under! As for rental cars, I have never gotten such a cheap rate that I have locked in right now. Somehow I managed to get a bigger vehicle for way less than anything I have ever gotten. My theory of keeping up with everything and checking a couple of times a day definitely has worked!!!kcarts wrote:Looking ahead to a possible January trip, saw that a roundtrip flight would run me about $215.

I'm actually going to wait a little bit. Last time I went I booked in October and got something about $20 cheaper than that. Luckily, I'm flexible with my plans. Obviously that's a key to trying find a good price. I usually do a Wednesday to Wednesday trip. Mid week flights are so much cheaper.Len90 wrote:That's a great deal... so long as the flight times are what you are looking for.

That is true. However, I was not flexible at all this year with dates. We were lucky enough to find the time for a Disney vacation and those dates were the one and only chance. My rates are on Friday and Saturday flights so I'm kind of happy. It almost seemed like it would be between $400-$500 per person round trip when I darted looking.mindflipper wrote:I remember the same was true when booking flights to LA and LV as well - mid-week flights were cheaper than Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
I sure hope you looked both ways before you "darted" lookingLen90 wrote:That is true. However, I was not flexible at all this year with dates.

I know, I know, spell-correct on the iphone is unforgiving 
Oppps that was supposed to be started. MY BAD!!!mindflipper wrote:True, Amy, but the iphone's auto-correction does provide us with endless comedy material. I thought "darted looking" is where you throw darts at the computer screen to pick which flight he's going to take.
Yeah, my favorite is still the thong ~ I can't even remember what he was trying to type that time, but that was classic!!Len90 wrote:Oppps that was supposed to be started.
