Grad student in need of help.
Hello everyone. I am student at University of Buffalo. I am trying to get to Kansas City to be with my friends and family during the holidays. Unfortunately, I got to pay my fees for the Spring Semester and am running a little short for the flight tickets.
In order to save money I am travelling on Christmas day and returning on 1st Jan. Still the ticket fares are not kind on my budget.
Is there anyone out here willing to share the holiday Joy by helping me out.
Please let me know.
King regards,
Grad Student!

First, you likely waited WAYYYYYYY too long to get good fares. Next year, look for flights beginning in July or August.
Second, you might see what fares are like from NYC and take a bus or train down there.
Good luck!

Google shows $305 on AA... for last minute and Buffalo as point of origin, that seems... not terrible.
Not sure what OP was targeting but that price range seems ok to me.

AA is still showing flights right around ~300 all in for those dates. No way in Hades are you going to get any better than that.

Perhaps the OP was looking for a kind FTer to donate him miles to make his Kansas trip?
