anyway to get outrageously cheap flights at last minute?

[dolph]

specifically, from la to nyc, specifically, next wknd (july 2-3). i'm flexible in terms of going a day or two in later or earlier, & from area airports, too

 

[JoeKing]

what do you consider "outrageously cheap"?

 

[Sheepathon]

jetblueeeee

 

[MaxDepth]

hotwire has an extra savings section that has been cheaper than expedia's bargain offers

 

[walla]

That close to a holiday? Good luck on finding a normally priced ticket.

AFAIK, you get the real savings when you book months in advance, no?

It's people like you that they ream.

 

[dolph]

well considering my sister is a travel agent and I was about to send her an email to see if I could help...


nevermind now fvcktard :roll:

--edit--
fine, reading the above post, all is forgiven. Now what do you consider cheap?

You're talking about a transcontinental flight. Normally, those are $300+ on a normal day 2 months in advance. Your best bet is to priceline or hotwire it a couple of days in advance and see what they're willing to do... Maybe even try the day you're wanting to fly....they may have an opening to fill.

Otherwise, you're out of luck. Keep in mind that you'll probably have a layover somewhere and if you get an extremely cheap ticket, you could be waiting in an airport for hours...

 

[dolph]

well, as cheap as possible

 

[mcvickj]

The cheapest I found was on expedia.com. $496 nonstop on Delta. Arrive 7/1, Leave 7/5

if you wanna try your luck you could go and wait at the ticket booth and keep asking if they have any last minute cancellations...doubt it will work but you never know, they might just get so fed up with you they'll throw you in the cargo hold and get you on your way.

Negative dolphrider, the pattern is full. Jetblue gives you soda and blue chips :heart:
