Airlines w/Discounts through Groups?

[jgates]

This is a question more for my Las Vegas trip in March than disney, but is anyone aware of any groups that provide discount codes to certain airlines? My flight that I have been watching went down $30 at the beginning of last week then up $80 later in the week. I really need to get it back under $300 (not the $340 it currently sits at).

I have tried Amazon travel & Sam's Club but they seem to run right with the website airfares.

I am planning on travelling out of Minneapolis (either airport is fine) on 3/22 and coming back 3/26 to Las Vegas. Hotel is not an issue since my room at Paris is a comp, so it won't be a better value for me to do a room/flight trip.

I have subscribed to travelocity's low-price alerts but so far they are only going out thru February and at the most 3/16.

Just wondering if I possibly might belong to a group that has standard codes with an airline and not even realize it.

Any thoughts?

Unlikely. There are very few discounts out there and in most cases you'd need to be part of a group of 15 or more people to get a group rate. MSP is just about always expensive to fly out of because of the lack of competition; Northwest dominates departures there; Southwest does not fly out of there and Sun Country is merely tolerated because they don't represent much of a threat to Northwest. So you're probably going to have to eat a high fare.

Can you fly out of Milwaukee? Fares may be lower there. Did you look at CWA or Eau Claire? Sometimes even with connections there are oddities out there that make other cities cheaper than the main hub city. The Entertainment Guide coupon book has a 5% discount coupon in it for American Airlines but that's not much of a savings. Did you check with Sun Country to see if they fly that route?
