XVP - Expensive Airfare

#1

sorry i have to post this online, i tried to email hansjurgent but it bounced back.
anyway, normal airfare right now is about 350.00-400.00 because of the price of fuel.
but there are specials out there , even in the range you used to pay. but since you are
traveling on a set date in june you wont find those specials. there were a few specials like
200.00/rt but they are sold out already. i found a fare at 288.00+taxes round trip from
columbus, ohio but these fares wont last long. I am a member of vpfree and I am a travel agent
in las vegas. like i said i tried to email you but it bounced back, otherwise, i wouldnt have had
to bother the rest of the group with this. I wish you luck and if you need help and/or want to book
this or want a vacation package/ air and hotel for vegas let me know.

Subject: [vpFREE] XVP - Expensive Airfare

I'm trying to go to Las Vegas June 22-25 flying from Ohio. I can't find
any airfare under $350. I've tried everything, expedia, travelocity,
southwest airlines, priceline. I'm trying to fly out of Cleveland,
Canton/Akron, or Columbus.

Do you think airfares will go down soon? Or should I bite the bullet
now and pay $350. I don't want to take a red eye home.

I've never flown to Las Vegas for over $250 but I haven't bought a
ticket there in about three years.

Any help?

Try signing up for Southwest's weekly click n' save specials and perhaps even their "Ding" program. If you need to cancel, even on a non refundable fare, you can use the funds towards a future trip. Also, check out Amtrak Service via CLE-CHI-KNG (shuttle Kingman to Vegas) -they also let you use tickets towards future travel or have a refund fee (Amtrak) of only 10%. The Shuttle from Kingman comes in to the LAS airport level 0 for easy connections to city buses 108/109 to the SSTT, UNLV, Downtown, Hilton/Stratosphere and connections to other routes.

You ought to just bite the bullet and fly out of your hometown.
The amount of time, cost of gas and parking to go to another city in
Ohio is a waste of energy. Yours, not the enviorment.
Also since I assume you are going to gamble, is the $200 extra you are
paying really putting a crimp in your vacation. If it is, then maybe
you should chose another location.
