I have learned a new lesson in getting airline tickets

Wow, I learned a new lesson this morning regarding airline tickets.  I don't fly much, except for going to Seattle, WA to Microsoft events at Redmond.  I have typically gotten tickets about 10-14 days before.  Well, I now have some time and I just looked this morning for tickets on October 2.  Wow, the prices are one-third the price of my last ticket.  I had previous flown on United because of the schedule and the fare was the least I could find coming out of Knoxville.  I had checked United again and it was about the same as I had paid before.  Well, I decided to check others this time.  Wow, American is way less.  I am going to check others airlines, but Wow.................................

PS. It looks like I will make it to the AspInsider Summit October 3-5.

It's amazing the difference in the cost if you purchase pretty far in advance.

You pay for the flexibility of waiting till the last minute :)

Yup...I almost always buy my tickets about a month in advance (or maybe a bit more if possible). There are also big differences between where you fly out of and what airline.

Hopefully I'll see you there! ;)
