   #1 - JetBlue, if they service the area

   Jetblue…no, they don’t.
   Expedia…still $300.

   Thanks honey, even though you don’t want me to go, you help me. What would I do without you!

   $500 for the train, not that I would really do that, but why is it so expensive? Hmmm, what else can I sell on Ebay?

   Ok, I’m having this conversation with myself. Jetblue does go to Nashville, but it is as expensive and crappy times.

   Is Southwest available? If so, go to their page and download “DING”. It’s a program on your computer that announces when they release empty seats on planes. My sister and I got $29.00 fares from Sacramento to Las Vegas.

   Have you tried travelocity.com. If you mark open date then cheaper seats come up. The only problem is that they are usally weekday flights.

   Try sidestep.com. It searches several different travel sites as well as a bunch of airlines. It found the cheapest tickets for us at orbitz. Cheaptickets.com and mobissimo.com are a couple of others that do the same thing. If you don’t specify a time, that also helps, but you’re probably already doing that. Like Kristen said, weekday flights are the cheapest I was asking the same question several weeks ago and I found one guy that said he finds the cheapest deal through one of the orbitz type websites and then he finds the same flight directly through the airline’s website, to avoid paying the service fee that orbitz and others charge. It wasn’t cheaper for our tickets, but that may be because there are a few connections along the way.

    Sidestep is pretty cool, although I haven’t used it in a while. Does it still require you to install something in order to use it?

    I tried it a couple times a year or so ago, and it did find some good deals, but I ended up going with JetBlue anyway, because the ultra-cheap ones weren’t that much cheaper (for the flights I was looking at).

    I’m such a JetBlue fan now that it would have to be a considerable price difference to go with a cheaper alternative, and I haven’t seen that too often, since they are pretty competitive price-wise. I know that the actual flight experience is so good with JetBlue, that I’m willing to pay a bit more for it.

    I wouldn’t know but orbitz it’s weird like that when the prices go up. I think they cookie you and then when you come back they raise the price to entice you to buy right then. I’ve had the same problem with them and some other travel sites like them as well.
