Ticket Search
Buying our tickets started out real tricky. Being the savvy shopper than I am, it was my ultimate goal to save as much as I could just for bragging rights. I love travel so this is what I do best, and I am in sales so how hard could it be to negotiate a little airfare? Since it doesn't exactly work that way I had to move on to plan b. Standby. I paid $430 for my ticket to London using Open Skies and I will be using the carrier US Airways. I am thinking that I have very good chances to get on the flight and so what if I get bumped, tripped, scrapped up on the way... I saved over 1,000 on this ticket. My hubby's Jason barely got his ticket for $1200 and that felt like we were at an auction bidding. We went through many different screens, carriers back and forth and ultimately we got it down to the $1200 whew... its over we are booked. He is going on Delta and I am flying on US Airway... For me it all means 10 flights a day heading to Philadelphia from Phoenix only to leave on one large flight to LHR (London Heathrow) at 9:55pm at night. Jason will ultimately travel with out stress or worry since he paid not to worry.
