Alrighty ladies, I need your help - Travel, Leisure & Vacations

Sarah · 02-20-2006, 12:34 AM

I am in the process of getting an airline ticket to fly back to North Carolina. I am looking at flying out March 30 and coming back either April 6 or 8 (the 7th is my b-day and I don't want to fly on my b-day). Anyway, I am looking for airfares UNDER $260 a ticket. That includes taxes too. I found $267 on hotwire, but I want them a little less, since I am also taking the kids.

Soooo....Do you have any ideas on where I could find a cheap flight? I would fly out of Seattle and into Raleigh/Durham. Let's see who can find the cheapest ticket

.

Thanks!

all I am finding is 300 +

I usually have good luck calling US Airways they have a pretty good military discount. SOmetimes it doesnt make a difference, but I have gotten some good deals.

Sarah · 02-20-2006, 12:48 AM

Thanks Jenny! I will call US Airways now and see what I can find with the military discount.

Three days ago, I found tickets on Hotwire for $194/person(after taxes!) but the thing was, it was a week before I had originally planned, and I didn't want Emily to miss a week of school, when we are going during her spring break. I was so bummed out!

Southwest has it 109.00 each way.

Sarah · 02-20-2006, 12:49 AM

I already looked on Southwest and looked at the 109 fun fares, BUT after taxes and for all three tickets, it turned out to be $958.00. SO far that was the most expensive I have found.

Sarah · 02-20-2006, 12:59 AM

WHOA! I found a great deal with US Airways. Threee round trip tickets are $647.10 after taxes! That is REALLY good

Sarah · 02-20-2006, 01:01 AM

Now, hopefully that deal will still be good within the next 3 days. I can't book it right this moment, but I am planning on booking it before Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed

That's a really good deal. We usually fly my mom up here twice a year and we usually buy her tickets through Alaska or United.

did you also try Fayettville Sarah?
I found some cheaper out of there for my mom but she refused to drive there

Closer than R/D for her but she wouldn't do it
