Cheap Flights

Raneados

There was a site a while back that had insanely low flights inside the US, like 50-100 bucks for a Florida -> New York one-way flight

I'm not looking for frills or even a meal or anything, just the cheapest way to get from Point A to point B in a reasonable amount of time.

Do people still do that free courier shit?


I really don't care if I'm in the cargo hold, I'm not a frills kind of person

i am, however, a thrifty person

pretty sure you can get a jetblue oneway flight for about a hundred bucks, from florida to ny at least. done it a few times.

skybus? that's pretty cheap. Deals can be awesome. Sucks for me though, 'cause they don't fly out of TX.

I sent you a PM, Rane, but check out www.kayak.com

It searches from a bunch of sites.

Perhaps it's Allegiant? They have some strange flights, like from Lincoln, Nebraska -> Las Vegas, and Indiana -> Clearwater, Florida, for amazingly cheap prices.

Was going to suggest this.

Also, its worth noting that Saturdays and Wednesdays tend to be the cheapest days of the week to fly, but the best way to drop cost on normal airfare is to try different dates of departure and be flexible with times. If you are flexible and book well in advance, there is little reason to pay more than $100 for any flight between major airports.

*Edit, you can also fly to Philly, DC or Boston and take a cheap greyhound ($12-18) if you don't mind complicating your journey to save an extra $15 and you find a cheap enough fare to one of those three cities.

** when you book a bus ticket in or out of New York City, always book on the web and look for the link to the reduced fare. They will happily charge you 3x as much if you're not looking for the deal. This deal exists solely to compete with the super cheap Chinatown buses that undercut those routes, and it is not going away anytime soon.

Try Southwest's DING program. You'll get notified of new flight deals every morning from them and they're usually below $100.

You can take a bus, but I would like to warn you that it is a 4+ hour bus ride from DC or Boston to NYC. If you can get a MUCH cheaper ticket to those cities and you are going for a long period of time, then fine, but if you are going for a weekend I would advise against it.

Agreed, I only proposed this because the request was for a one-way. Perhaps I mistakenly assumed that meant there wasn't to be a return very soon. I did a quick search and FL to Philly was $40 cheaper than Philly to NYC at the end of May.

Raneados

well I'm probably headed from Tampa, Fl to San Diego, Cali

chromdom

Tampa to SD? Neither are huge hubs with lots of flights. Can you get rides or take the bus to Miami, then fly to LA, and bus or get a ride down to Sandy Eggo?

Try Southwest - they fly to both of those cities.

Edit - you won't find their tickets on a search aggregator, you should go to their website: www.southwest.com
