Lessons Learned - Airlines

[winter_elf]

When planning a group vacation, buy ALL airline tickets at once. No trying to split up to use different people's Credit Cards. ARGH! We tried that last night, and once one group got their tickets, it was not only impossible to find the same flights they choose, or if I found the same flight - it was a LOT more!!!!!

After a fruitless evening and this morning, I finally got something similiar, though I had to pay about $30 more *sigh*

That sucks! You're right, all of the people buying round trip should have gotten it all at once, I guess. I didn't realize it would turn into such a mess.

Since ours was one way to Orlando, then one way back from Atlanta, we ended up paying more. Nevermind that the Orlando flight stops at Atlanta.

airlines are a supply and demand if a lot of people want the same flight the price goes up. So yes a group should all purchase at once other wise the computer will sense the demand going up and therefore the price goes up. Airlines are sneaky that way.

I've been trying to arrange flights. It's a PAIN IN THE BUTT!!!

Ridership is down, people are annoyed at airlines--and they aren't making things easier for anyone! Bleh.

Well, at least you got something similar. *sigh*

Off topic! I got my Euclase, finally! Everything but the kilt and cape and necklace--and the meditation head, which is OK with me! Yay! And I didn't have to much over the retail--less because of the lack of the Meditation head AND much less for shipping. Whew! --And people were contacting me just through the WantToBuy post I made. I think the economy downturn helped me. Plus Soom making tons more dolls people want to buy!
