That would be where I started immediately after checking ANA. I only called them when, as in the past, I was able to find flights on ANA that werent showing up on AP. That was somewhat expected or, perhaps put another way, I knew they'd get a booking fee out of me What wasnt expected was that they wouldnt be able to access the same flights at all.

We're doing a 3 week trip next summer, and I guess we'll now be driving to Nashville(which is a pita) to catch a flight down to Lake Charles. I cannot fathom the fare differential between the 2 places(Im guessing based on the fact that BNA has Southwest), but for a one way fare we're talking about the diffference between $135 to $485. I wanted to think that perhaps the fares from Knoxville would come down but when I looked at them any month for the next 10 they seem to always be hovering around the same number. Im not cheap but I refuse to pay those kind of numbers on a leisure trip when we could drive it (if we weren't so lazy )
Dh will have to do 2 more hours of driving for that differential. That pays for a couple of dinners out while in NOLA when we get there....lol !
