help with cheaptickets

I'm so upset!!!! I got my airline tickets through Cheaptickets.com in March and now I see I could have flown out the day before for way less!!! Had anyone ever had this happen to them and is there anything I can do!?

I'm assunming you bought non-refundable tickets.

Unless you want to pay the change fee and fly out the day before, I doubt there is anything you can do. You can only get a credit or reschedule without a fee if the price changed for your exact itinerary. When you book via the internet, it's your job to do the research and to be sure you book what you intend. And then barring major schedule changes (made by the airline) or some other catastrophic happening, you have to live with what you booked or pay the fee(s).

For what it's worth, maybe the option you see for the day before wasn't even available when you made the original reservation. Prices change all the time.

If your dates are flexible for the next trip, consider using www.itasoftware.com or www.orbitz.com to do some research and checking before you buy. Those two sites have some nice fare matices that make it relatively easy to avoid the situation you find yourself in today - assuming the lower priced option was available on the day you booked and you just didn't know about it.

Best wishes-
