I'm planning to make a quick trip, leave on 11/24 and return on 11/28, but the fares are all coming up in the $500+ range. Can anybody suggest alternative routings for lower $$$ (presently all connections are out of ORD or PHL).

Thanks!

Not without a Saturday night stay.

Taking back what I said in the previous message...

Try Orbitz (http://www.orbitz.com). Looks like there are several choices on your dates on US Air/UA Codeshares in the $370-$400 range. Same at Expedia (http://www.expedia.com). And Travelocity (http://www.travelocity.com). And United's own Website (http://www.ual.com).

Looks like you used US's user-friendly Website to price this. If you must purchase on usairways.com, try selecting the following routings:

Outbound:
1045A 902P
1000P 1053A
1010P 1053A

Inbound:
635A 1152A
325P 845P

These price out at $388.

You can see which flights are cheaper by searching by price instead of schedule.
