Buying airline tickets online

Go to the airline websites? Some gives one time deals but you have to keep a eye on them. That's how I get good deals on flights to Vegas

 

Is your friend from Hawaii?? Because that sounds ridiculous.

 

I've been using Expedia over the past year or so. It's convenient and really easy to use, so I just stick with it.

 

When I worked at a passenger terminal, I remember the busy periods to Hawaii were during the summer time. Families are able to take their kids who are on summer vacation and retired couples are were all over the place.

What's your price range for an acceptable flight and what state are you traveling from?

 

Really? weird, I know my friend gets them like that but have no ideal which company/site he finds them

What price are you getting?

 

They'll go up the closer to your date.

 

Travel on a week day and in the morning should bring it down a bit.

 

Yep, that's why I get mine 2 to 3 months before the flight

 

Yeah, not too surprising since it's Hawaii.

 

Airlines really jack up thier prices 21 days before the flight, so that is the latest you should leave it. Up until then you can get decent deals.

You could always try travelling on standby. It can be a pain, and mean a LOT of connecting, but it can get you there cheap. Just call the airline and get a standby ticket for the day you want to travel.

Also try chartered companies rather then the big commercial airlines (united, us airways, etc). Um I am unsure of chartered airlines in the States, so if anyone has some suggestions that may be better.
