Should I gamble - twice??
I'm heading to vegas the weekend of Jan. 6th for a 40th birthday party of a friend
The 2 cheapest flights from IAD are Air Tran and Independence @ $115 one way
i am holding an 10% off FlyI coupon, and a coworker has offered me their $189 FLY I credit for some hotel stuff, so i can effectively reduce my cost to about $50
should i risk it?
it would be nice to say I flew on Independence the last day of their existence,
but if i'm off by a day i may be screwed. But then again, if their last day in January 5, then i may not get a flight out on January 6??
what say the experts?

I hate to say it because I've been a fan of FLYi but I don't think they'll be around in January - they are going through cash very quickly.

I havent taken a look so I don't know if it is to your advantage but consider flying out of BWI if you're price sensitive.
Flying with Indy anytime after Christmas is a gamble but the odds are not in your favor!
