I absolutely LOVE to travel. I just have two obstacles: 1. I work full time and don't have a zillion days to take off for vacation-to be specific I have two weeks of vacation to take each year 2. I haven't won the lottery just yet so at times I can be a little strapped for cash.
My two cents on flying. My two top airlines that I have used lately are Southwest and Airtran. They are the two airlines that seem to have the cheapest airfares for where I normally travel. So, here are my tips-for Southwest check on eBay for travel credit that you can buy. Sometimes you can buy $200 worth of ticketless travel for about $180-190. Sometimes you can hit the jackpot and really save alot. Othertimes you can save a few bucks and it's worth it to me. Another thing I would like to mention is ding. You can download "ding" from southwest's website and several times a week they have pretty good specials-the catch is you have to usually book within the same day.
Airtran is another good airline for cheap travel even for last minute traveling. I would also recommend signing up for airtran's weekly emails, it doesn't hurt to get one extra email and you might find a good deal!
I would also recommend priceline.com as you can bid on an airline ticket. This doesn't seem to work with my traveling schedule because I usually have specific times that I need to fly. But for those that have a little flexibility this can be a great tool for saving. My mom as used it several times and has ALWAYS saved for bidding on her flights.
Happy Flying! Feel Free to Share Your Airline Tips! I always love a true GOOD DEAL!
