I have been putting off buying a plane ticket to Atlanta for Katie’s graduation (on May 7), hoping the price would come down. On Saturday, I was about to buy one for $300, tired of waiting, and annoyed that plane tickets are becoming more expensive. When I expressed dismay, figuring that as soon as I clicked “purchase” the price would inevitably drop, Mom told me to just wait a couple more days. So I listened to Mom. This may have been a mistake.
If anyone can find me a plane ticket from Houston to Atlanta, leaving May 5 evening or May 6 and returning May 8 for less than $350, I’ll…I dunno, love you forever, or something.
UPDATE: Jen is the winner of my eternal love (sorry Gavin). She found me a deal for $330, which still makes me go ugh, but on the plus side, it leaves from Hobby and includes a rental car. I will be pimpin’ through ATL in my compact car. Woot!
Jen’s pretty good at finding travel deals. But, you know, she is married to your arch-nemesis. Maybe she’s setting you up for something…
muhaha
Wow, I’m used to spending like $600 for my trips to DC. $300 is like a dream.
They say you should always, always, always ask for an upgrade: both at the airline (first class available?) and at the rental place (got a spare Hummer lying around?). They give free bumps more often than you’d think. Or that’s what I hear.
yay you are coming to visit me!!
Jen — yeah, I know $300 is not a lot in ticket terms, but I have *never* paid more than $225 to fly from Houston to Atlanta before this…
heh… you used the word “woot” in a post!
