AA Airfare Rant

[MIG]

I've been watching fares for our next STJ trip and finally decided to pull the trigger. I got all the way through the on line reservation process, entered my CC number and then BAM - "We're sorry, that fare is no longer available". It went up by $50 PP. Argh!

hey MIG- when are you going? We are flying from Philly in Apr. on US Air's non stop. Have you checked out Spirit's sale from Atlantic City?

the fares out of New Orleans are ridiculous right now! I am hoping they go down soon! It is making me nervous!

I have waiting for airfares to go down also. My trip isn't until the first week in August so I have time yet. I have been using farecompare.com to track airline fares. You can sign up on the site to notify you when the fares come down.

Thanks! I've set up my alerts.

This past summer, I logged on to AA.com and found a great rate for our December trip from Boston, direct flight! Let's call is Rate A.

I called hubby, told him I was making the purchase.

I log back on to AA.com and low-and-behold, the price jumped $100 each ticket. Rate B. This was in the course of, like, 40 minutes.

I purchased any way because I was paranoid it was going to go up more!

Not two weeks later, the fares went down to BELOW Rate A! Darn Rate C!

Just got tickets on Delta out of Little Rock for two weeks end of June including 4th weekend at good price. I got antsy as well and pulled the trigger. At the end of the day I will probably drink more than the price dif of tickets maybe going down.

It is so bad from here (LEX) that we used FF miles. $600.pp would be a great rate.
