Airlines

I've been checking the prices on flights and they seem to have increased quite a bit.

So this morning there's an e-mail from American with some specials advertised on it, none to Argentina.

But anyway I entered all my booking information and travel dates into the site and came up with a price of $1,345 dollars. My mistake was I didn't book the flights.

Then 15 minutes later I put the same data in again and the quoted price came to $1,508 dollars.

I need to know if theres away to beat this and get the lowest price?

Help.

Thanks,

Exon

Exon[/QUOTE]Yeah, my quote was from LAX.

Well guys.

I allways go with united from dulles the trip is 10 hrs and change, but the thing I like with united is that buisness and first the seat turn to beds just like the one in your homes. First has much more cubby holes to put your stuff in and it, s just a little wider. But buisness is good too both have movies on demand, and good food for an airline. Yea its a little costly but I don't mind.

Try it you, ll like it. I'm leaving Friday the 29th and coming back febuary 1.

Just 3 days but well worth it to me to get there fresh and relax for the fun, I will not sleep for 3 days, will sleep on the way back.

Exon[/QUOTE] I'm not sure what dates you're looking at but AA considers March 1 to May 31 as "off peak". Try booking after March 1st if you can, I've looked at it and the prices drop on the 3rd right now, but YMMV.

I booked today and got an $80 discount from what American had been quoting for the past 2 weeks.

I'll keep checking! If I find a better price next week can I cancel that reservation and make another with no penalty?

P.S. The MotherFuckers fucked me, I just checked and left $200 dollars on the table, The CockSuckers

Exon[/QUOTE]Don't know about AA, but United allows cancellation with no penalty within 24 hours of booking. You might want to call AA to find out.

Last year I payed $900 round trip from Vancouver and if I had waited another 2 weeks I could have flown for $750. This year the best that I could do was $1800 including all the add ons!

*Just verify your connections if there are any. That LAN NYC to BA flight turned out to be a 22 hour nightmare for me. I had to switch planes in lima and santiago. Both had a layover time of over 3 hours.

IMHO AA 10 1/2 hrs Non Stop is the way to go.

Cost less than US$1600 r/t. I am platinum on American and can return on American for $600+ with stop in Dallas in exit row and business upgrade if I want.

I am looking to travel down MIA to EZE sometime between 2/25 and 3/1. American is very expensive and no exit row nor business upgrade available at $1200 for this leg.

I am looking for suggestion on how to travel down. LAN is over $2000 dollars. I can go r / t on LAN for US$1600-1700 for coach and no cost effective up grade nor guaranteed exit row.

Do any other airline sell a discounted one way with a cost effective way to get exit row or cheap business upgrade?

An interior seat in coach is my idea of the inner circles or hell. I am a large tall guy. I don't mind one stop, especially in usa eg fly to Houston to pick-up Continental non-stop to BA. I can fly cheap Miami to Houston.

Any Ideas?

To you have any creative suggestions: eg American has discounted space Miami to San Paolo r / t my dates for aboutg us$800 with exit rows available and maybe bus upgrades. I would have to take a different airline San Poalo / BA. American shares with LAN except when they fly the same routes.

Setting this up is beyond me. Maybe I'll call Carbone Travel?

Any other thoughts.

Sid w / United one way price ok? Can I get gauranteed bus upgrade cheap or exit row?
