Do we have any travel agents here? - OT
Hey, drop me a note if you're a travel agent. I need some plane tickets.

No offense to any possible travel agents out there, but really & truly,
Tink, 99% of the time you can score the best tickets by using a good online service like Expedia or Orbitz. I've been a member of AAA since I was 16, and my brother is a newly retired captain for American Airlines (formerly TWA) and both my bro and the person I've gone to at AAA say I can get better fares on my own online. Unless you're desperate, avoid Priceline...it's a crapshoot and half the time you get 2 or more layovers. I've used Orbitz since it started up a few years back, and always get good fares and great service, even with weird ticketing like sending my kids one-way on their own with me joining them later. -- KarenK Desert Dreamer Designs http://www.desertdreameraz.com/ Ebay Sto http://www.stores.ebay.com/desertdreamerdesigns JustBeads: http://www.justbeads.com/search/ql.cfm?s=DesertDreamer |

Ditto to what Karen says, and my sister is a travel agent. She routinely
tells me to go on line for tickets. Elise -- This is a post-only address.

Thanks for the good advice, guys! I've been buying airline tickets online
for years, but the prices seem a lot higher this time around. Guess it's still the best deal, even if it's not as low as I'd like :-) -- Tink www.blackswampglassworks.com Now offering private lampworking instruction! http://snurl.com/2pun for auctions... |

Thank all the gods and little fishes that my Mom treats us to our Christmas plane tix, or we'd be staying here this year. I booked our tix Friday and they ended up being almost $200 EACH higher than last year. I found one possible lower price, but that was for a flight that landed in Philly at 1:15 am. Adjusting for the time change, that would still feel like 11 pm....plus the time to get our bags and pick up a rental car and then drive 2 hours to Mom's. NO! We could fly into Harrisburg and save on the car rental, but then I'd have to drive back & forth twice to get the kids to my ex, and the fare is higher still, so what we save on car rental gets eaten anyway. I swear, next year I'm making everyone else come here!

I have gone to the travel agents with a print out of what I found online. They
can't even match it. Becki "In between the moon and you, the angels have a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right." -- Counting Crows |

Well geez! I never thought of doing that. LOL! Seriously. I figured there
was no point. That will have to wait until I feel better. Need a little **** and vinegar in my step, if you'll pardon the expression, to be able to carry that off, I would think. -- Tink www.blackswampglassworks.com Now offering private lampworking instruction! http://snurl.com/2pun for auctions...
