Of course, picking 2 flights on the "Lowest" dates, with a Sat stay, PIT-LGA, gives a $779 fare. What a deal!!

The "marketing" guys continue to amaze.

yep got the same price the weekend after Xmas- $704.53 ... good deal US!!

Heh, they are using the discount shuttle fare as the example of a low fare. Amazing. You didnt want to come this weekend anyways. Trust me..... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Two years ago I took advantage of this deal and it was $89 for BUF-LGA on 737s. Now it's $138 for a crummy ride on the Dash-8. I think I'll pass on this rip off http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I actually found a $98 flight for DCA-LGA round trip. It was leaving 7pm on Sat 12/27 and coming back 3pm Sun 12/28. That leaves a lot of shopping time up in the city--Come on Crystal City give us something of value!!

Yes, I think that is very doable on the shuttle. The normal weekend fare is about $130. They had lots of shuttle fares for $98.

Ugh...don't get me started on this one. I tried to book PIT-LGA for this weekend or next when this first appeared on their website. I know they only have so many V fares per plane, but come on...they were hardly available almost from the start. The only flights I could get for $98 were what others have found - leaving late Saturday and departing early Sunday. What gets me is that for decent times, it's almost worth it to use miles. I'll stay home, thank you... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif
