Is this expensive? You're basically flying half of America, I would expect it would be around that much.

You can get $900-$1000 hotel/airfare combo through Allegiant if they fly in your area.

Booking < 1 month out is a bad call. Everything will be expensive at this point


It was too high 3 months ago.

just checked SW out of MSY and it was 350. That seems reasonable.

you are correct. I am not used to SW and just assumed it was RT since I hit a depart and return.

Yeah. That shite is too high

may I ask what you are used to paying? I was expecting to see $1,200 - $1,500 range.

Your expectations are way off.

It’s not your typical weekend trip bc it’s a holiday weekend in Vegas, but a domestic round trip should be around $300 usually.

I could fly round trip to Hawaii for $600
A $1200 round trip flight is more like flying to Europe

It was $1200 for two round trip tickets in December. Always a shite show unless you're willing to fly at shite times.

I'm paying more to come back on Monday so I don't miss Tuesday.

Agree but the subject line says ‘outrageous’. I was expecting 3x to 4x average.
