I just do the rounds - Orbitz, Priceline, Expedia, Southwest if they fly to your destination - until I'm convinced I've found the cheapest fare.

Combines expedia, orbitz, etc into one, no fees, no hassle.

If you are near a southwest hub, download Ding from their website

Where you heading, cotton? NWA sent out an email for ten different destinations under $120 - if tix are purchased by the end of this week (01/14). And yes, Bismarck, ND is one of the featured locales.

If you have a .edu email address, studentuniverse.com is pretty good.

Also, when you check Yahoo Travel and Orbitz and stuff and find a cheap fare, always then check the same flight on the airlines website. It's usually cheaper and you can get mileage bonuses.

BAHAHAHA!! "This your captain, the muthafuckin Ruthless Villain, we flyin to Vegas and shit. Y'all fools sit tight, or I'll cut your gotdamn face off!"

Cotton, doesn't SW go from Philly? and into Vegy?
I always have to fly Deltlef from the A to Philly. Now that I am a permanent Bamian, I have to drive longer than most flights just to get to a cheap/decent airport.

It will drop as you get closer, and then rocket when you get too close. Weird conundrum.

Look into travel agents as well, cos they may be able to get you some fine package deal, wherein you get a non-stop roundtrip and a soundproof suite for one low-low price.

my dad got free roundtrip tickets to anywhere in the continental US because he flew to philadelphia and they fucked up his flight and had to get him a hotel room and someone dropped their luggage on his head and he was bleeding everywhere. i'm sure they didn't care about the luggage though, but anyways, he won't use them so they're mine to take incase i go to college and if not i can use them for vacationing later on.

Philly ALWAYS loses luggage. They're the worst in the country with that. I don't know a person who checks their luggage there anymore. Those guys ddon't fuck around with the surly attitude there, either.

Because they spend the least amunt of money to train their pilots. But, saving money is more important to me than a few flight hours anyway. SWA.com.

I have worked long enough to realize that Training Dollars Spent is not directly correlated to Performance
