Enjoy these threads. I've been wanting to pull the trigger on my tickets to ORD in Chicago. Can't decide if $250 round trip is cheap enough to pull the trigger on or not. Also found $275 round trip into ORD and home from MKE. Any opinions?

Headed to Cancun in June flying out on a Saturday and back in on a Friday. What would you guess I'll be paying for a roundtrip?

$388 is the going rate right now for june, but $264 is the rate for Saturdays-Fridays in May. If you're lucky, Delta and United may try to go after one another pricing wise and lower it down to $264 within a few weeks. Keep a lookout over the next few weeks (I will as well) and if you or I see it go down to $264 I'd highly recommend booking.

Also, last summer orange air flew from MSY-CUN nonstop, but I don't see anything about when they would restart this summer. Looks like they were at $198 roundtrip last June

Are you actually going to ORD or MKE? I'm guessing this is for the lsu wisky game? Fares have been as cheap as $88 on the Nola-Chicago route. $250 doesn't seem like a great deal, I need more info to find specific dates/flight times

$200 roundtrip would be nice.

I've been to DFW a few times, haven't been to IAH (have been to hobby) and havent been to ATL

Thank you very much. 573 is a decent for summer travel. I wasn't getting that using orbitz or delta.com. The ATL connection is what I was looking for.

Plan was to fly into ORD (or MDW if we use Southwest) on 8/31 and fly home 9/4 from either ORD or MKE.

But after I saw your post about MSY to Boston I thought about going the on 8/31 to catch a Red Sox game before going to Chicago.

I fly on American quite often so I'm a regular at DFW, real easy to fly in and out of/haven't had too many issues recently. Atlanta seems a little out of the way for headed up to Minneapolis, plus it's not my favorite. IAH is okay, pretty spread out and can be a long walk from E to the other end of C.

I think the better question is what are the types of planes to/from each of the hubs on United through IAH, American through DFW, or Delta through ATL? It's better to be comfortable for a long day than enjoy one hour in a new airport. I've found some of the A319 flights on American and United to be miserable recently, way too little legroom

So you will need a bunch of one-way tickets if you're going to include boston.

As of right now, a one-way MSY-BOS on August 31 is $97 (get there around noon or 1pm with a delta connection in NYC).

Sept 1 or 2 a one-way BOS-MKE is $102 on delta, BOS-Chicago $87 early Sept 1 on American or Southwest, $87 on Sept 2 on Southwest, $102 on American. BOS-Green Bay is $163 for the 1st or 2nd.

Sept 4 a one-way MKE-MSY is $152 on United, one-way ORD-MSY is $122 on American, $145 on United or $153 on Southwest.

So if you did MSY-BOS on Aug 31, BOS-MKE on Sept 1, gameday, then ORD-MSY on Sept 4 total would be $321

Could you do the 21st of May instead of 22? If you can, May 21-29 is $203. May 22-29 is $306. Can do a roundtrip on American or do two one-ways (up on American, back on southwest, etc.)

Possibly leave on the 21st. Where are you finding these flights? $203 is better than $300
