I thought we would have enough miles racked up to use our milage plan on our credit card, but we are a little short, so it looks like we're going to have to pay for our tickets to las vegas in a couple weeks.

Are all the online places like expeida pretty much the same? Has anyone ever used priceline and got a really great deal? Is there any place that's reputable that has really cheap fares?

It looks like it's going to be around $350 each for us to fly out of Seattle, and I would really like to find something cheaper than that.

You go to expedia.com or orbitz.com then find the cheapest then go to the website directly it's usually $5 less at least. Also sites like JetBlue (http://www.jetblue.com), Southwest Airlines (http://www.southwest.com), www.spiritair.com, etc. don't always come up on those comparison sites. You have to go to those sites directly.

Sign up for Southwest's Ding specials, they often have good deals. Only other suggestion is buying a voucher from someone. I've never tried priceline.

Yup - Southwest DING! is the way to go :)

I have found the cheapest tickets by calling airlines directly. But then I do qualify for the military rate and you normally can't get those at the online sites.

try us.lastminute.com

They were 1/3 of the price of hotwire when I was playing around to check prices to Romania to see a friend.

$3500 on hotwire, and only $1400 on us.lastminute.com. BUT.....it was only that cheap by getting the flght and hotel as a package. IIRC, it was $1000 more just to book the flght.

So, it was $2400 per person total for just the flight, or $1400 per person for both the flight & hotel!! Even if you don't use he room, it would be crazy not to get the room just to save the money!!!

That's what I do also. Check Airtran too.

I like the new search engine sidestep.com....they have a place to click for last minute deals too!
