Make a road trip out of it. That's what I did to save a lot of money. I'm goin' to Texas, which is a 450mile trip. Would have cost $400 for one person to fly, so $800 round trip for 2 people. I rented a car, cost me $350 for 10 days. Gas going there and back will cost no more than $80 (if gas prices stay the same for the next 11 days.) $430 round trip, if I add all the gas I'll use while in Texas, about another $80, so $510 all together, saving me a little over $350 (after all cab fares.)

I'm going from Fargo, ND to Spokane, WA. He doesn't actually live in Spokane but that's pretty much the cheapest place to fly cause it's the biggest airport around out there (plus I checked)

I'm not about to drive a car out there. I'm in school so I need to be around as much as possible but I haven't seen him in over a year and a half and he's my best friend so I figured I'd go party with him a little bit for about 5 days.

funkyab:

I am going 9/25-9/29 I think or in that time frame anyways. Depends if I have any tests that week or not. I'm a college student. Why?

Also found a pretty decent way to find flights.

in google you type [City your at] to [city you're going] and it brings up a list of stuff. Pretty cool. Like so: http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&safe=off&q=fargo%2C+nd+to+spokane%2C+wa+&btnG=Search

you're thinking of Amtrak...i think

No, that was grayhound.

OP, try hotwire. If your flexible on time of day to fly (not day but time of day), you can get pretty good deals from them. Might check Alaska's website also.

I tried hotwire I was getting the same cost as other sites regardless of day or time...

Nope no AAA for me..
