I always appreciate the flight costs from MSY. Thanks for throwing that together
Posted on 4/23/16 at 5:11 pm to willhigg6
Cuse does a lot of United States stuff and I'm always looking international. Figured I could look for a lot of spots right now.
Posted on 4/23/16 at 8:18 pm to tduecen
Thanks for doing this. I havent had much time to look recently and this coming week is just as busy, but if i see something unusually cheap for domestic summer ill post the thread 
Posted on 4/23/16 at 9:57 pm to tduecen
These are round trip fares or one way?

Not trying to be antagonistic but do people not know how to use Google flights?

They do, it's just easier if we can help people from around here when there are cheap flights compared to the norm. Most people don't check flights everyday while myself and a few others on here (maybe you as well??) are exceptions
Example: If you go to look for Nola-NYC on google flights and see $300+ for this summer (some exclusions with tuesday/wednesday flights), someone might book it thinking it's a good deal. In reality, you can get it for $246 currently while the average for the past few months has been $210 (sometimes even under $200). Saving that extra $100 per person on a trip adds up so it's a cost saving measure that I don't mind helping people with.

Travel Zoo tends to collect some good deals. I'm not very bit on guided tours but sometimes the deal is so good you deal with it.

I know what you are saying, but I wonder how many times people jump on these deals just because they are below the average because they saw it here. Plus I really meant when people ask questions like "is it one way or rt?" That is a quick search on google flights for the answer

Best examples I have of this are either LSU Tigershark going to Anchorage for $310 roundtrip after seeing it on here or several people booking MSY-Cancun nonstops for $264 about a month ago. Hell, for $310 I should've convinced my dad to meet me up in Alaska and take a week off.
As far as asking if it's one-way or roundtrip, I just get used to answering that same question every week

Who would ever post a one-way fare on a Travel Board?
If we had a Relocation Board, then maybe, but 99+% of the time when folks travel they come back home at the finish of their travel.
tl/dr: "Is that RT?" questioners- Probably Arkansans

I have booked 3 or 4 trips from your weekly threads, so I really appreciate the work yall put into them.
Posted on 4/24/16 at 6:11 pm to LC412000
Yes all round trip for 1 passenger....

Ahh, in that case, I commend you. You are essentially spoon feeding people. It is very selfless.
I do look at flight prices most everyday but that is all for myself. And it is usually mistake fares. Either found by someone else or me. But so far mine haven't been half as good as some other people post everyday

skyscanner.com is GOAT.
You can search your destination as "everywhere"
Extremely convenient for a long Europe trip or looking for a quick trip somewhere random.
I booked a $460 round trip flight from JFK in NY to Milan. $460 round trip. Absurd.

I cannot think of a trip that I have taken to Europe or Africa where my arrival city overseas is the same city I departed from coming back to the US

And that's cool, I get that. I do the same thing often to combine business and pleasure. The majority of airline tickets sold are for RT single destination though.
You know that logic doesn't factor in to air fares.
For example, I have an annual business conference in Las Vegas and always tag personal travel onto either the front or back of it. For an extra 10% in airfare over MSY-LAS RT I can do MSY-LAS, LAS-SFO, SFO-MSY and get a weekend in the Bay Area.
And it doesn't have to even be kinda close (like LAS is to SFO) to work, I've done MSY-LAS, LAS-BGI (Barbados), BGI-MSY for a $250 up charge over MSY-LAS RT.

I will be flying to Seattle from NOLA on July 13 and returning on July 19. Can you let me know if you see a good deal on a flight. Also considering getting the United Mileage Explorer card for airline points. Would someone let me know if these points are easy to use or do you need to jump through hoops. I have the CSP card so I can use that for SW or United but have never booked a flight before. Thanks for all the knowledge you place on this board.

UA might actually be one of the easiest to book in terms of award availability. No other "hoops" to jump through really when it comes to award booking on US based airlines.
In fact even internationally, the only ones that I can think of that are PIAs are Korean and Thai
