GAAAAAAH I could just kick myself.

[KitchenWitch]

I have been watching airfares to get back to Minnesota in June for my son's graduation. I found a good fare yesterday (one I could actually afford for me and my daughter). I thought it was going on until 11:59 PM tonight. It wasn't it was until 11:59 last night.

I am so pissed. I don't have the extra money.

I just needed to whine.

Sorry.

:cry:

[KitchenWitch]

3. The really good fare I had was Sun Country

about 300 for two tickets. It is now over 500.

I am so fucking depressed.

[Parche]

7. ok

try splitting the fare
in cities where you can get better fares
such as chicago midway, or las vegas
try ontario departure, or burbank, or even lax
or split in denver on frontier
:hi: :hug: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

12. How do I do that?

[Parche]

23. hey

14. Try Orbitz?

You will get a list of airlines. I would look for you, but I don't know all of the details. http://www.orbitz.com/App/ViewFlightSearchResults?retrieveParams=true&z=4dab&r=53&z=4dad&r=55&lastPage=interstitial

2. that sucks, kitchy

i hope you're able to find something affordable. what time to you normally look at fares? i have found some decent fares shopping in the middle of the night.

[KitchenWitch]

4. I will try that.

[fizzgig]

5. and keep checking the fare on your flight once you've booked

some airlines will refund the difference if the fare drops and you catch it

6. I'm so sorry, my dear KW...

I hope something else will turn up, sweetie...:hug:

8. Have you tried Southwest?

I know they're not on any of the big travel websites, and they just started flying into MSP. I'm not sure if they have any flights from LAX into MSP, but they might be worth a look.

[KitchenWitch]

9. They do but they are not low price right now.

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Try this site

http://www.bestfares.com/

You can also set up compare to other airports to get best fares, such as flying out of LAX instead of Orange County (SNA) :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

11. I don't even bother to look at fares out of SNA

They are always about $150 more than out of LAX.

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Was just as an example (by me)

Hope the site may be helpful to you, though. :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

16. I did look at that site.

[Whoa_Nelly]

22. Hope things work out for you

:hug:

[Fleshdancer]

15. submit the price you can afford on priceline

it couldn't hurt to try.

[KitchenWitch]

17. I will try that.

[av8rdave]

18. Try kayak.com It searches multiple airline and travel sites for you

[KitchenWitch]

20. I have looked there

I will keep looking.

19. Sorry to hear that KW...

I'm thrilled to see the fares I'm looking at for my trip next month are about $150 less than last year AND they are almost all non-stop!

21. Have you tried alternate destinations--going through where you want to go?

I don't know if it works in MN, but I wanted to go to Cincinnati from Raleigh to pick up a car and drive it home. The dealer told me to book Dayton. All the flights to Cincinnati were $250+ one way, but I found
a flight to Dayton for $70 and it went to Cincinnati first! So I bought that flight and got off the plane
in Cincinnati and didn't bother with the connecting flight since the dealer was picking me up at the airport.
