Last Minute Airline Ticket
« on: March 18, 2010, 01:52:43 PM »
Does anyone have any tips or websites to find cheap last minute fares? I'm looking for a ticket from PIT to LAS next week and it's all pretty expensive.  Thanks in advance.

$600 for ticket from PIT-LAS is expensive so I consider it last minute.  I had friends that booked same flight for $200

I was trying to get a ticket for CTIA which is from March 23-25.  I probably won't go anymore too expensive.

 this is a good example of why its good to have a CC where they buy the tkt for you using your pts, be it a Flex CC or Merill Lynch or Travelocity among others Im sure. yea Id rather use those pts for a European tkt but when you need to go somewhere and the tkts are very expensive I wouldnt have  aproblem using the 30k or so in pts for such a tkt. not gonna earn too many miles but alot better then burning a hole in my pocket by paying $$$ for such a tkt

Thanks for all the advice, someone helped me with a ticket with only 25,000 USAir miles.  Once again this forum came through.  Thanks Dan for the great resource.
