You only need read the horrific reviews online of Santa Barbara Airlines (SBA) to understand you never want to fly them. They really do belong in a very special, select club of airlines that have such low reliability and on-time statistics you will regret ever booking them, regardless of how cheap. Just saying.

IAH-GCM is on the CO weekly specials list for this weekend at $297 a/i RT. I would go but I don't want to miss the Texans game.

QBK
This is my first post.
I am more of searcher for discount fares to interesting places than your traditional searcher for miles. However, using miles, I was able to fly to Europe four years in a row with my family, so I do have some experience. I thought this was the one place on flyer talk to look for cheap fares, kind of dump for good fares that don't qualify for normal mileage runs.
For example, last year I took advantage of really cheap fares from the Midwest to Hawaii in September and really cheap fares to Europe in June. I also missed pricing errors to Europe last year, by hesitating just a few hours.
So this is my favorite place. So QBK, if not in this thread, where?
