Update: I booked 'em for $250 through America West. Yeah dude! vespagrrrl, I owe you a drink.

Hi, I forgot to save my entry about where to get cheap plane tickets. And I post too much so it's lost in the ether. If you guys tell me again, I will SAVE it this time.

I'm looking at a round trip of $330 to fly from NY to SF and I have somewhat definite times I have to come and go (leaving Fri nite or Sat. am August 28, returning Monday Sept 6 late afternoon or night). On Jetblue with no connections, which is almost worth it instead of Airtran, which is always, always a nightmare of missed connections and overbooking and sitting right by the humming, scary engine. But $330? That's too much I think.

jetblue often has sales of $99 each way from NY to the west coast. maybe sign up for their e-mail and wait for an announcement?

Yeah, that's more like what I was expecting to find.

Leavin'... on a jet plane...

Hey there...

I have always used www.travelocity.com or www.expedia.com to book flights.

I checked travelocity, and found several flights leaving in the PM of the 27th or AM of the 28th ranging in price from $230 - $301 (depending on departure times and whether it was non-stop or not).

Hope that helps!

You are so sweet to look! Those sites usually seem to have similar deals, and better than Orbitz, I think.

wow, i flew jet blue to oakland and it was so cheap? what airport are you trying to go to?

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

The SF airport, ideally, but Oakland is acceptable too. I thought it was going to be cheap! Sigh.

[auralee.livejournal.com]

my guess is that oakland will be way cheaper. and it's not that far.

good luck!

Hey! You're coming to SF? spoonfeeding and i would be glad to point you to a coupla good spots, if you like.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for sure! I think I am staying with my friend Chicken, but I don't know if he will have time to show me around or just set me on a stool in his bar or what. It would be fun to meet you guys finally.

I'm going to assume that Labor Day weekend has something to do with it.

[labrujah.livejournal.com]

Aha! I forgot about that.

[badbargain.livejournal.com]

What about Orbitz? Or possibly call STA Travel, they're usually very, very cheap.

[vvvespagrrrl.livejournal.com]

[labrujah.livejournal.com]
