I have a friend who needs to leave, BDL (Hartford) to go to ONT (Ontario, CALIFORNIA) on the 23rd of August.

Anyone got any tips for him to get some tickets under $200? One-way.

Hitchhike.

That or pick a different airport.

$230 is about as good as it gets.

Does the Greyhound Bus go that way? If it does im sure that would be cheaper. But it would take a long time to get to the destination.

I was looking for him, to bad nothing that early... I guess since its not within 14 days advance purchase. Shit on the 31st and 1st of september is like $104 total for the trip.

Probably get a standby ticket for fairly cheap, but that sucks balls.

Magg · 08-16-2004, 11:47 PM

AaronM - where did you find that $230 ticket?

I found some shit for $256, and some for $1120 with 3 layovers and total trip time almost 24 hours!!!

WTF!

Sorry, I tried everything, including a few dirty tricks from a previous lifetime. I couldn't get anything for less than $290

Try bookingbuddy.com, it makes it easier to compare prices.

When I was to Orlando 2 weeks ago, with my kids and my wife, we booked our hotel at Travelocity, airline tickets at Priceline (Name your own price), and a rental car at Orbitz.

For the hotel, airfare, and a rental car, I think it came out to like $187 per person.

cornhusker · 08-17-2004, 12:59 AM

Is it one way or round trip?

Magg · 08-17-2004, 01:52 AM

one way, ontario is about 10-15min from our apartment, so its better for ONT than LAX (which is like 2 hours then needs a ride)

Magg · 08-17-2004, 02:29 AM

Flight(s): Mon, August 23, 2004
Total: USD 324.20

Total Estimated Travel Time: 7 Hours and 34 Minutes

I just bought him a ticket, cut his travel time down from 15 hours or something like that, LOL.
