Default Cheap Flight

Cheap Flight from Orlando to Baltimore, round trip, now down to $164! if anyone needed a great price. Sounds cheap-o, right??. Is this advertising or helping?

I have that same itinerary in Oct/Nov and best I could do was $224 RT. I checked again today and still at $224.

When are you flying?

Take a look at Frontier if they fly where you want to go they have some deals out there.

I use Southwest, they have 'wanna get away' rates that are typically very good. However, you have to go to their web site, Southwest Airlines | Book Flights, Airline Tickets, Airfare.

Our experience has been "bait and switch" with the so called discount airlines. A recent one way ticket advertised for a low price of $79.00 ended up costing $150.00 one way or 300.00 round trip.

It was still cheap for a flight from Illinois to Florida but way above the advertised price with all the "add on".

I used Frontier in the past, and I am using them again to come down for my house closing in September. $92.00 one way from Trenton NJ to Orlando. Same for the way home, but an earlier flight would have been $102.00. One other thing... "standard" seats were all booked, so I had to pay $25 extra each way for "stretch" seats. Seems to me if standard is all booked, the other seats should go for the standard price, but then I don't run an airline.

We have friends that fly out of Sanford rather than Orlando and they get some good prices. The 'gotcha' is that a Sanford flight may not go where you want.
