Sorry hit enter too early.

I can’t find round trip Friday to Sunday for under $500 anywhere.
Just got tickets to the fame 30 minutes ago. That’s why we didn’t book anything. Gonna drive it.

No, only when you wait until the last minute to book a flight during the busiest time of the year.

8 hours and maybe 15-30 mins to Atlanta from Nawlins. Traffic detour throug B’ham will cause a 15 min delay due to major rebuilding effort there. Atlanta traffic west of The city is always shitty. So, there it is.

Hell no. Can usually fly round trip for around $150. It was Spirit but you could’ve booked round trip for $130 the morning of the SECCG for the 27-29th. The Sunday afternoon, tickets jumped. We just going to drive.

You’re right, I definitely should have booked a flight 2 months ago for a game I got tickets for 30 minutes ago.

We plan on driving, I was just surprised there weren’t more flights.

We do it all the time. Book flights through SW and hotels that can be canceled for SEC championship in October every year

Probably should have done that, but only reason we are going is because we got them for face. Would have never considered going otherwise.

Flying from shreveport. this may be the only time ever a flight from Shreveport is cheaper than Dallas

Although the prices went up fast. buddy got tickets on the same flight as me 20 min after and paid $200 more

I've done it in just under 7, but you gotta be flying. And that was just to south metro ATL.

It's closer to 8.5-9

having said that, it's not a bad drive
