Dealing with airlines and fares

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5737 | As some of you know, I'm a Reverend as well as a DJ. Last night, a DJ friend asked if I'm going to the convention in Knoxville on 6/21, because he is planning on getting married at the convention, and thought it would be hoot if I officiated. Although I had no plans to go, for shits and giggles I looked up the fares for Continental, fly in 6/21, fly out 6/22. I realize that it's past the 21 day threshold, with only one night stay, but really.... Newark direct to Knoxville: $1,028 Philly to Newark to Knoxville: $500 LaGuardia to Chicago to Cleveland to Knoxville: $756 Allentown to Newark to Knoxville: $270 Interestingly, Continental's computers couldn't figure out how to get from Kennedy to Knoxville, and instead gave me the Newark flight for $1,028. Is it any wonder that I'm still flipping out over the fares I got for Vegas? Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Haha...oh man, that is really BAD. And is it a shock that the airlines are in BK every 4 or 5 years? |

It is $356.40 for a Greyhound bus, and that is 2.5 days each way. I don't think it is going to get lower. Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5737 | I finally did it. After checking every day for three weeks with no changes, I broke down and booked my flight yesterday. direct from Newark. I booked because Continental's web site said "Only 3 seats at that price left." Sure enough, when I was done, it updated to 2 seats. I land in Vegas at 11:00am on 9/19, leave at 10pm on 9/25. $447 with taxes. --- The same outbound flight, with a 1pm return flight, was $438 yesterday. For nine bucks, I'll stay in town for the day. It's $373 today. For $74, I'll get the hell out of Dodge. It will probably be way past too late anyway. Fortunately, it was within the 24 hour cancellation period, so I was able to change it. --- But I know what's gonna happen.... In a couple days, my original flight will be reduced as well. Sigh....
