heyy where are you flying from?

 

[CelticBelle]

Im flying from sacramento.

 

[sas0824]

okay soo.. southwest.com.. go there.. you would have to fly down the night before.. they are pretty cheap..

 

[CelticBelle]

I looked and i found one for 186. is this cheap? it also says there is one stop, but it doesnt give me any info on changing planes, etc. Does this mean I wont have to change planes?? man i feel like a hopeless cause. haha

Check out this site: http://www.studentuniverse.com/
I found some really good prices there. They validate you as a student by your student email address I think. The cost was about $60 less than straight through the airline. You can only buy one ticket for yourself. So my mom and I are trying to coordinate the flights so she can buy the same one at the airline site. But check it out. AA had direct flights, and I think that Delta had some too but I dont know about from Sacramento.

$186 isn't bad. Not sure of your arrival date, so I'll do a quick check for the 18th (you'd most likely have to overnight in Orlando for a night, in order to get a cheap fare that works with Disney's arrival plans.)

Cheapest I found:

For fare deals, I use kayak.com. It's an aggregator, so it checks various airline/travel sites for the lowest prices. Now only if my plane fare would be more reasonable... it's looking like it's going to be a $400 one-way ticket to Orlando :\.

 

[CelticBelle]

oh $400! Thats awful! I guess I dont have it so bad after all.

jetblue has cheap prices as long as you book in advance

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

My friends and I have decided to fly JetBlue, they have the lowest fares we've found so far.

I love Jetblue. That's the only airline I fly with.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Are they very good? I'm a big nit-picky about airlines. I've only flown through Delta and AA all my life and so i'm a bit scared about trying new airlines

I love them. In my opinion, they are pretty good. Plus the prices are nice.

 

[Pendragon1515]

Good Luck to those who are flying!!!!! i am driving! lol from the west coast of florida

A little OT, but if I could fly JetBlue (or the new startup Virgin America) everywhere, I would. Their prices are usually really great, and you can't beat their in-flight features.

Yeah, I live in a station dominated by American and United, so I definitely hear you there. If you can fly JetBlue and the price is competitive, definitely give it try though- the LiveTV that JetBlue really innovated air travel is fantastic, and JetBlue has more room throughout coach (something that those of us who flew American a couple years back relished).

I was wondering if the classes were worth taking while on the program. Will you have any free time at all? If they're worth it, which do you feel were the most beneficial?
Thanks!

I finally got my letter!! 5 weeks and 2 days after my interview. And luckily I got my 1st choice of BBB Hostess. SO I was curious if anyone on the boards had done it for their CP. What was it like, what were your primary jobs (did you actually get to do the makeup and such or were you mostly on the computer etc.) If anyone knows anything about it let me know! Thanks!!

I wanna go with ENTERTAINMENT because that has to do with my major but my university isn't giving any credits.
I'm really thinking about it now because I know taking it will be a good experience and eventually I will learn alot from it but since it won't count as any credits for me it really is dissapointing. I just worry that I will get to stress and won't be able to enjoy the CP.

in my packet that i got...it said that the days you have classes are the days in which u have off....and the classes are only two hours. so u will have stuff to do through out the whole week. But it depends if u are fall advantage or fall? b/c fall advantage can opt for 2 classes.

Are toasters one of the provided appliances in the kitchens in the apartments? Or am I going to have to buy one?

I know what you mean, i'm only getting 4 credits from my uni for doing the program...
I also really wanted to take the theater class, but it's major specific so...
