Any hints?
 

I am trying to make reservations for my parents to fly from CLE to DEN for Xmas. On the CO website today I got a companion fare of $254 ea which was lower than the senior fare. Is this good rate? Both flights are nonstop. It seems like everytime I make a reservation better rates come along. All of you seem to have so much knowledge. I'd appreciate any ideas.

Hint #1: Change your thread title before FCTSTY gets here.

The answer to your question, from one who lives close to CLE and travels to DEN occasionally, is yes it is a pretty good price. Would I wait for a cheaper fare - no, but that's me. I'm sure others might. Concerning your topic title - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

If money's tight can go Greyhound at $158 each on a 7 day advance purchase senior fare.

The Greyhound coaches are more comfy then CO's Jungle Jets, and you get to meet a lot of strange but interesting people. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Who's payin' anyway, you or Mom and Pop?

$254 is a good fare. You should really try to get them on a mainline jet (737-300/500) - the RJ is not great for a ~3 hour flight.

UA flies DEN-CLE nonstop with the same little 737s - you might want to check those fares also.

Too bad Frontier isn't on that route.
