The wife wants to take the boy to see his Great Grandma in Florida.


My son is 3 is this too early to fly in a plane?

I would think as long as he is flying with his mom, he is not too young to fly. As far as cheep prices, there are a bunch of sites like travelocity, priceline ect... When you figure out the dates, check all over or the cheepest price.

Oh, if you have AAA, check with them also.

I always go directly to the airlines. I used to try travelocity and all those, but I'd always end up finding the same flights for cheaper directly through the airlines own sites. I almost always go through Southwest Airlines and they have specials all the time. No idea if they even go to Ohio though.

Check this shit out. travelocity, priceline, orbits all were more expensive than going through CONTINENTAL or DELTA directly. Now, of course it makes sense that eliminating a middleman would do that, but I was led to believe just as I am sure most people who see the commercials that they in fact are a better deal. Not true at all. Fuck you Shatner, ya liar.


Kayak was pretty cool and was easy to navigate. Especially since they offered the ability to open windows for each comapny to compare. Still the amount was way over priced by $20 or so.


Thanks guys and gals for the info.

Site like travelocity and expedia are nice for building trips when you need airfare, room car etc and want to handle everything in one spot. I always book through them. Sure I can save $10 getting the flight direct from the airline, but I can also spend $20 of my time traversing 3 or 4 extra sites to get the rest of the stuff I need for the trip.

If you're just looking for a flight alone then it pays to just go direct.
