    When do airfare prices drop (if ever)?

    No offense was taken. ITA saves your most recent searches by default. You can't ask it to alert you about price drops. Need Google for that. I know Google makes it easy to put in multiple airports. ITA does too and you can vary the range to see how far the other airports are. I can look on...

    Sounds like Google works for what you need. Stick with it.

    When do airfare prices drop (if ever)?

    They use the same engine and ITA mentions that Google is faster, which it is. Google definitely has a better UI for the average user. What you can do with ITA is search using more parameters than you can with Google and then filter the results in so many ways. I'm searching from 5 airports...

    Booking reward flights with AA

    I would contact American and talk to the AAdvantage group to find their rules. They'll probably need to book these for you. Since you have enough points for 2 of 4 travelers, I'd want the kids to get the award travel. Only the flights you pay for are eligible to accrue AAdvantage miles, so...

    When do airfare prices drop (if ever)?

    I second ITA Matrix as the greatest site for looking for fares. One thing to remember....Southwest is only allowing bookings through August 10. According to their site, they'll open more dates on March 12. This could lead to lower fares across the board as more capacity is suddenly available...

    FEBRUARY 2016 Car Rental Code/Rates Thread/Watch

    I just cancelled my 9-day Alamo minivan with Vegas Brazil code ($269 after coupon) and booked a minivan with Avis for 2/20-2/29 at MCO. I got a discount for prepaying the reservation and used a $30 entertainment book coupon and I'm at $212.81 all in. :-) My company has a "discount" AWD code...

    Jet Blue and Google Flights

    Google flights and ITA Matrix use the same engine. They just show what is out there through the airline's own site. There isn't a discount for going through Google flights. If you price it out for one person on JetBlue, you should see the same fare. More than one person might bump you up to...

    FEBRUARY 2016 Car Rental Code/Rates Thread/Watch

    This has a free additional driver too. I used the National/KLM code for years and had to switch after that awesome code passed on. I prefer National because I can walk right to the lot and pick up a car. Alamo has the extra steps in between, even though they're both owned by Enterprise.

    FEBRUARY 2016 Car Rental Code/Rates Thread/Watch

    Badamon, I see $237.32 on Alamo using Vegas Brazil and a $25 coupon from the Entertainment book. There could be other coupons out there if you don't have a book from 2015 or 2016.

    FEBRUARY 2016 Car Rental Code/Rates Thread/Watch

    2/20-2/29 at MCO. 9 full days, same dropoff time as pickup. Alamo Vegas Brazil code and $25 Entertainment book coupon for specialty cars. $268.98 all in for a minivan. :-) It dropped about $60 from the time I originally booked it and I just rebooked at this new price.

    I knew this day would come eventually

    I'd stay in the Crystal City or Pentagon City portion of Arlington and metro everywhere. Priceline could be your friend there. Where are you flying from? If you're near the Northeast Corridor, I'd highly recommend taking Amtrak.

    February 2014 Car Rental Deal Watch

    The Yelp reviews on Firefly are pretty ugly. If you're still booking through them, I'd read Yelp so you don't get scammed on the pre-paid fuel option that everyone is complaining about.

    Feb 2013 car rental

    Rates just aren't moving yet for Feb. My 2/2 - 2/10 rental dates are still high for a minivan. My best deal is still the KLM code/$30 National coupon at $308 all in. I tried a $16 bid tonight on priceline and got an interesting response. "If you are willing to raise your price, we can offer...

    Trenton-Mercer, NJ Airport

    Here is TTN's response to my email about food/drinks. Unfortunately, there are no beverages or snacks/food past the security checkpoint. You are allowed to bring unopened/sealed snack packages but no beverages. We are trying to remedy this situation. Thank you for your interest in...

    Feb 2013 car rental

    Ok, your pickup and dropoff times are giving you that rate. For some unknown reason, a week, a day and 2 hours gives you a significantly lower rate then running it as a week and a day. :confused3

    Feb 2013 car rental

    I haven't been able to match any of your quotes in this thread. I get $491.97 from MCO using your codes and we're trying the same dates. Where are you renting from and what times are you using?

    January 2013 car rental

    You might wind up overbidding if prices drop and you're still raising your bid. I use Hotwire to see where the opaque market is. You can *always* beat Hotwire's overall price with a PL bid, often by $3 per day or more. Last Feb, minivan rates didn't drop until 8 days before my trip.

    January 2013 car rental

    Was this through their normal reservations area or was it a bid? If this was a bid, what was your bid amount?

    Feb 2013 car rental

    I'm trying the same dates. I don't see your rate and the coupon says it expires before my trip. It's supposed to end on 2/10. You're using 7015135? (edit...I see you posted which coupon you're using)
