Had to share with others who love a deal 
! DH has a conference in Honolulu in October. The rest of us (me and our two boys) are tagging along. I have been checking airfare several times a week for the past few weeks, and it's always been in the $700's (from Houston to Honolulu). I checked late Tuesday evening, and found a flight for $458!!!! 
I put it on 72 hour fare lock (I had to pay $14 for that, but it was totally worth it!), so that DH's corporate travel agency could book him the same flights in the seats next to us. They booked his flight today (the price on the flight had gone up by the next day-- back to the $700's, so they had to pay more for his than we paid for ours), and I purchased the flights that were on hold for us today. Our flights ended up being $505 with taxes!!! Previously, we were looking at $2300 for our three tickets, we ended up paying just over $1500!!I'm SO excited. We haven't told the kids yet, so I've got to tell someone

. I hope when the time comes, you find a great deal, too! I kept re-checking the flight, making sure it was from Houston, b/c I almost didn't believe the rate!
!! How long did the sale last? I'm pretty sure I had checked flights over the weekend (most likely Saturday), and they were still in the $700's. They were low on Tuesday, and then they were back up on Wednesday. Now, I've just got to plan what we're going to do while we're there!! Any tips would be really appreciated (I might even start another thread asking for tips). Anyone ever used the GO Oahu card? Is it worth the $$? Thanks in advance for any insight you have! --Katie
