travel from DFW

Getting right to the point!!

Y'all in the DFW area, what airlines do you use, and and how early/late do you look? I'm thinking about driving up to Oklahoma City to use Southwest, has anyone tried that? Too much hassle?

We're going during Spring Break...I know from experience not to wait until last minute!

UGH! It would have to be a really great rate for me to drive to OK. I try to book early so I can get a good rate on a Non-Stop... We normally end up on American or Delta out of DFW. I have no experience flying during Spring Break.. but I know that in order to get a good rate we typically purchase our airfare for the fall (Oct/Nov) in July.

This year, the prices were never really low so we purchased last month...

Delta just had a great sale a few weeks ago. Right now, and for about the last 2 months, Air Tran has had the best non stop deal, $79 each way. I downloaded sidestep.com for free and any time I go to an airline website sidestep pops up and compares airlines. I look at this at least once a day. Hope this helps.

Just keep watching fares, about the best I've seen lately have been Delta or American for $200 that is for non-stop. United has had some good specials but no no-stop flights.

With SWA even from the nearest airports about the best you'll find is about $200, I'm not sure it would be worth the drive.

We are also going for spring break but haven't purchased tickets for that trip.

awesome tip about sidestep.com! It seems faster, even, than expedia and the others. Prices aren't looking too great, though. I've got seats using our air miles reserved. The flight back is horrible, but you can't beat free.
