Airfare Help?

[kovalchuk71 212]

Anyone have any good places to get cheap airfare or discounted tickets? Or anyone have an "in" with the industry that could give me some advice? I find decent rates, but paying $150+ for "standard rates" is rediculous. I found tix for $135 (trying to go to Detroit in October, but after the extra fees and all its comes out to $290 DOLLARS. More for additional fees than for the ticket itself? Comeon now.

What are you using to get that price? When are you going (time of the week)? Did you try going a day earlier to see if the price drops? Try any other airports?

It's still cheaper to drive probably.

800mi for me both ways, so I think its cheaper to fly. I use airfarewatchdog.com. Tough for me to go earlier as I have class.

You have to go on a specific day at a specific time? Chances are you aren't going to get a deal.

if you're a student, try www.studentuniverse.com . that's what got me to and from Finland when I studied abroad, it was several hundred dollars cheaper than the big sites (orbitz, travelocity, etc.). Try to fly out on Tuesday, if you can. I'd take a look into that, and keep checking back with them.

Specific Day, yes. Specific Time? No
