I just started a new job and will be traveling the same route with great frequency--Washington (DCA) to Cleveland (CMH). Does anyone know of a flexible, repeat ticket that saves money?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If, for example, you travel every M-F, then a one-way on the first M then round-trip F-M pairs to get in a Saturday stay can be cheaper (although the Saturday stay requirement has become a little less important recently). I always return on F, but sometimes need to change the M flight. The back half of a trip is easier/cheaper to change than the front half, so this works well for me. If your patterns are different, there are different strategies. btw, CMH is Columbus, CLE is Cleveland - which are you travelling to? us2 May 5, 04, 7:25 am I just started a new job and will be traveling the same route with great frequency--Washington (DCA) to Cleveland (CMH).

Seriously, if it's actually CMH you're talking about, US one-way unrestricted trip on an RJ nonstop is $440 -- or over $1 per seat-mile. I travel frequently to DCA and refuse to pay these ridiculous fares -- I'd far prefer US and DCA (even on an RJ) but the cost savings from using WN is enormous -- $600 per roundtrip on unrestricted fares, which I am often forced to use when the trip is short notice. :td: for such extortionate fares. CLE fares are similar, and they would all require a change of planes at PIT or PHL. |
