last minute travel???

Published August 24, 2009

Happy Monday, Everyone!!!

 

My husband is currently in training at Scott AFB in Indiana.  The closest airport is St. Louis, MO.  Husby said I could fly out there if I wanted to for the weekend...

But everything is SO EXPENSIVE just for a little impromtu trip.  Does anyone have any good recommendations for last-minute travel sites where I could get a pretty good discount??

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

And, yes... I'll have to go through RDU - although I laugh at the "International" component of the name!!  :0)

First, find what the lowest advance booking fare is to St. Louis (check for a weekend 3 weeks or more out). Then use priceline.com to request a seat for your specific dates of travel at that fare.

I think you can specify the maximum number of hops you're willing to accept. Just be aware that you have to pay in advance, and the flight times for the flight you're assigned to can vary from very early in the morning to very late at night - keep this in mind when choosing your departure/arrival dates!

Thanks, guys!

I usually use Travelocity - I've never had much luck on Orbitz, though... wish we could still travel somewhere last minute for under $200... hahaha.

And Speedy, you are correct on where Scott AFB is. I got the two states mixed up!! ;0(

$373 on tripadvisor.com

fri-mon

Southwest flies to St. Louis, MO and Chicago, IL.

American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection® may offer Military and Government Fares in some markets. For further information, please call American Airlines Reservations at 1-800-433-7300.

If both airports are served by Jetblue or Southwest airlines, their websites show some specials at times. www.southwest.com or www.jetblue.com

Uhhh, last I checked, Scott AFB was in Illinois, not Indiana.

Goto www.kayak.com It searches multiple sites all at once and shows prices and so on.

www.kayak.com

you might try www.kayak.com as it searches tons of sites, cheap tickets, priceline.com are also good sites tho' kayak searches them as well.
