Laffy to Knoxville is $198 for May, that's a pretty good deal. LINK

Baton Rouge is $258, Alexandria is $261

Anchorage is going to be expensive in July. Alexandria is $750, Laffy $745, Baton Rouge $708.

Booking wise, the Knoxville trip you can get a good deal now or within the next month would be my guess. Anchorage, if you see that dip below $500 I'd probably book it. Baton Rouge or Lafayette to Anchorage for the next few months is $463 and that's off-peak. If you got that price for mid July would you be happy about it?

DFW to Madrid June 4th
Amsterdam to DFW June 26th

Prefer Nonstop but 1 stop is ok.

Ive found $1479 on google flights. Do you think I will find a better price or just buy now?

$695 on United but it's got a 6am return sunday. Decent flight times are about $800-$1k

I found what you found. I think you can get a good early summer sale within the next month or two. $1500 seems like a lot but I'm not sure how bad prices are usually out of the hub at DFW versus nola/baton rouge.

I’m looking for a flight from msy to Phoenix in March. What is the cheapest way to go. I have a family of 4 that are standing in a wedding. The wedding is Saturday March 23.Would it be better to fly into Las Vegas?

Thanks in advance!

I'd look at booking these flights soon, you're right in the good range of 1-3 months. When would they fly that weekend, thursday night to sunday, friday to sunday, friday to monday?


Southwest is around $370 for that weekend depending on if they fly thursday night or friday morning. Other airlines are about $400 (what you'll likely end up paying) and Vegas is over $415. You may want to look into two one-ways for this (fly delta there, southwest back). Friday to Sunday

If you are still in the helping mood, we are looking to book New Orleans to Exuma Bahamas (GGT) for first week of July. Willing to fly out of Mobile, Gulfport, Baton Rouge or MSY. Dates are flexible +/- 2 days around July 4th.

2 ones for you:

1) Flights from MSY-Chicago (either airport but prefer ORD) for 8-10 people, what is the best time to buy? Looking at July 5-8.

2) Easiest Caribbean/Mexican/Central American destination to get to from MSY as far as prices/least amount of connections?

Need to be in New Jersey July 11-14. Can either do EWR or PHL. Possibly new York airports but gets complicated then. Any help?

This is a tough destination to get to. Looks like your main options are through atlanta, miami, or fort lauderdale. If you don't feel like double connecting, you're going to spend a good amount to go from MOB, GPT, or BTR. Roundtrips out of those are around $900

I did find $288 getting there on July 3rd in the morning, connection in miami. LINK

$430 to get back on that saturday or sunday after the 4th... Not great options.

I'd keep an eye out, wouldnt book anything quite yet but if you see it drop to around $500 roundtrip I'd probably book based on it being a holiday weekend. I don't think that american flight there is too bad, getting back is the problem

$375 right now on american or united. I'd hold off for at least another 2 months but if it gets to around $250 that would be reasonable to me for a holiday weekend. $200 would be great, you might find two one-ways for cheap on different airlines but those sales won't come for a bit.

2. For caribbean or mexico, you'll want FLL on jetblue or southwest, MIA on american, ATL on delta, or IAH on united. Cancun has a nonstop on saturdays and sundays on delta and united, might be worth looking into. Trying to think of other cheap destinations from MSY island wise but drawing a blank right now. I'll have to take a further look over next few weeks.

$257 into newark, not too bad. Frontier flies into Philly as well, they'll have sales but not for a while

FCO - BTR/MSY 9-23-19
Departure date is flexible, return before 25th, 2 week trip

Always appreciate your expertise :)

I have been back and fourth From New Orleans to Singapore since Aug 0f 2018.
1st trip flew Singapore and it was great. I did a connection through SFO then non stop.

I get better miles flying United, same route non stop though SFO. So now I just fly united. But much rather Singapore Air.
Both was Business Class if that maters
