I posted this somewhere else but it's probably not in the right spot. I need help with this today if possible. I am buying tickets for three kids, ages 16, 12, and 11 today on American Airlines from TXK to MCO. (texarkana, ar to orlando, fl) Due to the ex-wife, the dates and airports used are not flexible at all. I'm also going to have to get one of those escorts cuz one of these kids is hyper and none of them have ever flown. They are staying for two weeks with us 8/02 to 8/17 on a visit with their dad. My husband has left it up to me to find the best deals and so far all I can find is 401.00 per ticket with American Airlines. Plus they say it's another $60.00 each way for each kid on the escort thing. I'm only going to buy one of those. Seems silly to pay $360.00 for what I can get for $120 and tell the other two kids to follow the first. They aren't babies. Anyway, their dad only budgeted 1,000.00 for this trip and now it's going to be quite a bit more than we thought it would be. Does anyone know how to get coupons or discounts or have any advice for us on how we can save a few bucks? We want to do stuff with the kids when they get here but are going to have all our money tied up in plane tickets at this rate.

Thanks for any help you can give us.
