I'm trying to find tickets for the same weekend to Vegas. I have AirTran vouchers, but they won't let me use them that weekend. However, I've been noticing that the prices are going up. I would suggest looking at all the major webistes (Travelocity, Ortbitz, Expedia, etc) and booking something soon. They're only going to get more expensive as you get closer to the date. Good luck!

It is hard to find tickets for less than $200. A lot of airlines have specials right now, but I can never seem to find that "$69" rate that they advertise. Usually trips to/from Houston on Southwest aren't too expensive from this area. Southwest's rates to Columbus from Houston right now are $139 each way. This is a total of $634.80 for 2 tickets which is over $300 each. http://southwest.com/cgi-bin/showOrPrice On Airtran, they have tickets for $114 to Columbus and $104 returning to Houston. This is a total of $517.80 for 2 people, which is about $260 each. https://tickets.airtran.com/Confirm.aspx On booking buddy, they show rates for all other airlines. The lowest one they have on Farecast.com is the airtran flight above. On Cheapoair.com, there is a flight for $180.99, but they charge a lot of fees so the total is $521.80 for 2. It's stupid https://www.cheapoair.com/Default.aspx?tabid=1687&t=f&cid=58&sid=1 Continental has flights from $218 round trip per person. And after taxes the total is only $475.40! That's only $238.50 each. https://www.continental.com/web/en-US/apps/booking/flight/reviewRevenue.aspx?SID=8203F82F87E74CB5986292C202C368D0&sg=4&sgk=17935/11/2009

I would recommend Southwest since they fly out of Columbus. Also see how much airline tickets cost on Continental. You can fly non-stop from Columbus into Houston's Intercontinental/George Bush Airport.

Howdy! Unfortunately, even with the failing economy, air fare still seems to be pricey. However I usually find the cheapest tickets anywhere between 2AM and 5AM. Also, Wednesdays are a good time to look too for some reason...maybe because it's the middle of the week and not as busy. You might want to look for flights that depart on Wednesdays as well. Another thing you might want to try, is searching for good deals online. Some sites do promotions for different companies at certain times and can offer discounts. I'm always on the lookout for cheap travel, so send me an e-mail if you find anything worth while. Hope I helped and good luck! Rock on!

How do I find the cheapest flights out of a city with no particular destination

How do I find the cheapest flights out of a city with no particular destination?
I am looking to take a vacation in June, leaving from Columbus, OH. I really don't care where I go, and I am trying to find the cheapest flights out of the airport on a particular day. Is there a way I can find the cheapest flights offered from the airport without entering a destination? This could help solidify where I am traveling.

You can not find the cost of a flight out of an airport unless you have a destination. It's impossible.

This website isn't perfect, but it's as close as it comes to what you are looking for. It is set to my hometown airport (DEN) right now, but just change the airport and check and see what it returns for you. http://usatoday.kayak.com/h/buzz/view?ac=&action=create&airport=DEN&code=DEN&dt=B&dest1=SEA&desthint1=SEA&dest2=&desthint2=&dest3=&desthint3=&dest4=&desthint4=&dest5=&desthint5=&rc=u&tm=200903&ns=N&max=&mc=USD&submit=%C2%A0See+Best+Fares%C2%A0

Should I book with online travel site or is it cheaper to book flight and hotel yourself

Should I book with online travel site or is it cheaper to book flight and hotel yourself??? ?
My wife and I are planning our first vacation/late honeymoon to Mexico this October....our passports are ready to go just so you know. We've done our homework and totaled many vacations on travel websites(cheapcarribean,apple, hotwire etc.), but all of them are about the same price when totaled up. So what is the best and cheapest way to book our vacation. I've read on trip advisor booking the flight and hotel separate can be much cheaper is this true. Some websites offer 4 nights fight/hotel all inclusive for $499...but that is if you fly out of Miami, we will fly out of either Cinn., Dayton or Columbus Ohio...please help!!!!

There is no easy answer to your question. Either a package or booking separately might be cheaper depending on the circumstances. Booking as a package is often cheaper because the company offering the package may have a wholesale deal with your favorite hotel. That means that they can obtain rooms cheaper than you can because they commit to buying many rooms. However, it may be cheaper to book separately if website A has a lower airfare but website B has a deal with the hotel that gives them a lower price. If you haven't already done so, try Expedia or Travelocity. They commonly have discounts for booking as a package, although not for every hotel. Since you've researched several websites, it should be relatively easy to do some comparisons. If the prices are all about the same, regardless of whether it's a package or separate, then just book the package. It's easier. If one website has a lower airfare and another has a lower hotel rate, then just book them separately. As you can see, finding the best deal is not always easy. It often takes a lot of work!

not sure about packages but for hotels the best site i know of is http://www.discounthotel-s.info. the site is an aggregator affiliated with hotels. com which means it searches other sites and presents you with the best deals available. my office uses it for corporate travel. good luck and i hope this helps!
