I know just a couple of years ago you could get a child’s ticket 1/2 price with some airlines. Are there any out there that do that anymore for US travel? I’m trying to go from NY to MO & prices are outragous for July! Any suggestions? I’ve got to go during the week of the 4th but can stay longer than a week if cheaper.
thanks

We are planning our vacation and trying to cut corners where we can. Any tips would be appreciated. I don’t see how you can get a car discount with an airline ticket.

I would like to take a trip with my family to Hawaii, however because I was medically discharged from the Army I don’t qualify for space a flights. The cost of airline tickets is staggering. I am 100% disabled veteran and live on my VA pay. I don’t think Im gonna have another chance to take a vacation due to my health and I want to make memories now. Should I wait till last min. to see if flights are cheaper? Or does anyone know of a place where I can make payments on vacations?

I’m trying to find the cheapest tickets to get my son home from San Diego, CA to Columbus, Oh round-trip travelling December, 16 & returning January, 2nd. He is a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton so his funds are pretty low. Any suggestions? It’s hard to find military discounts with airlines from what I’ve found, or the military rate is as high or higher than regular fares.

More specifically I need a ticket from Kiev, Ukraine to Mobile, Alabama. I would like to leave soon, Thursday the 20th, of March. I’ve looked on the normal sites and it’s gonna run about $1000, which is too much. If anyone knows of any other way, like discount sites, last minute deals…..really any other way I’d be very appreciative. Thanks for any kind of info. Also, I’ve thought of hopping a train to a coastal country, Germany or France, and then taking a cruise ship back to the U.S. If anyone can help with this route that would help too but first and foremost, the airline way. Thanks!!!!!

How can I buy a ticket online from an airline when they only accept credit cards & not my Visa Debit card?
The airline, EVA (evaair) has great online only web fares to Asia. Problem is they only process bookings with a credit card in my name. They will absolutely NOT accept any debit cards, even if they are labeled “Visa” from my bank. I find this amazing, since I am essentially offering them cash, but all the customer service people I spoke with say it’s because they process the transactions at their home-base in Taiwan. Obviously there are technology services to get around that, but I guess they are avoiding paying additional fees and save money. If the discount being offered was not significant, I would buy the ticket elsewhere. However, if I buy on their website I can save around $600! Believe me, I’ve shopped around. I also have frequent flier miles with them through a travel agent before and that gets me deeper discounts than normal, plus two nights free hotel…but only if I buy through the web. My friend offered to put the charge on his credit card and I can pay him cash, but the airline rules say the card has to be presented be in the name of and presented by one of the travelers. Well, I don’t see any option other then buying the ticket from another source and losing the discount. Unless someone brilliant here knows how to buy online with credit in my name within 3 (yes, three) days?

BTW: I tried entering the debit card since I figured it wouldn’t be a problem and processed the same way, etc. It is, in fact, immediately rejected because it’s a debit card. The payment processing system they use seems to able to tell through some instant feedback from a global financial system service.

I went to several different websites, searching the exact same dates, using Continental Airlines in all my searches as they were the cheapest of all the airlines, in most cases the exact same flight from West Palm Beach Florida to Newark NJ …and it seems to me that these travel websites are not saving money at all.

continetal.com-$128.00+$19.30=$147.30
expedia.com-$114.41 + $31.29=$150.70
orbitz.com -$127.99+ $24.30=152.29
cheaptickets-$127.99+$23.29=$151.28
travelation-$104.41 + $63.29=$170.68
cheapoair $104.41 + $62.28=$170.69
priceline – $148.05 + $30.90 =$178.00
airfare – $134.06 + $38.24=$172.30

In theory we are paying these services to negotiatelower plane ticket prices with the airline companies. Then, the charge the consumer more in fees for the discount…which saves them absolutly nothing. The purpose of business is to create value to the consumer…where’s the value?
