Help booking BDL-LAS
Not sure if this is the proper place for this but I did some searching and couldn't really find too much. I'm attending a wedding the first weekend in Oct and am looking to book a flight from BDL. Have miles I could use but would really rather save them for something more. Anyone know of a place were cheap flights may pop up here and there? Been looking for a couple weeks now on a bunch of sites but the best deals seem to be close to $450. I have the option to book US metal with the $99 companion pass but even that option seems priced highly as US flights for that route are a couple hundred more anyways. Any help would be much appreciated. Could also depart from JFK if that would make a signifcant difference.

Yea but doesn't seem to get close to that price when flying in on a Thursday and leaving on a Sun/Mon...Hopefully some sort of sale fares will come up the close it gets to Oct.

SWA
Most of my friends, who don't accumulate miles, take the SWA non-stop RT to LAS from BDL. They plan well in advance and just watch fares. Usually they get around $350 RT. That's not too bad for weekend travel in non summer months to LAS.
You might want to look into getting a SWA Credit card. I believe they still are giving large bonuses. You could lower your fares to almost nothing.
