Are pax in short supply?
 

Is it just me or are prices coming down? I am also finding some interesting webspecials out there . . . Anyone care to comment?

There's an article on Frommers site today on exactly the subject you mention:

"Brother Can You Spare A Frequent Flyer Mile? The Airlines in Trouble, Responding with Sales for High Season. Latin America, Anyone?"

So I'm not totally nuts! Thanks for the reply and the link, tom911.

Yes,
You are totally nuts--You live in Alaska!! To get a good deal out of here is very hard sometimes......I shoud know, I'm in Eagle River. I have lived here all my life. Just wanted to tell you, I have been reading your posts and I am so glad to have someone so close to home. May I email you if I have a Q?

To live here is being nutty! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm sort of curious about Alaska fare sales. As you don't have a Southwest-type carrier flying there, do you see good sales, or are these few and far in between?

The test will be the Northern Hemisphere summer months that are always more expensive than the other eight months of the year.

Many companies are downsizing, laying off, and cutting costs. There is definitely less business travelers in the air. My company as well as friends of mine across the country are traveling 20% of what they did 6 months ago for business.

Anc - Phx Round Trip till 9/30 $248 + tax not bad. Plus lots of FF miles on NW airlines. Better buy while it's still there.

Sydneyjb, you must have gotten the last one. Trying a variety of dates on Expedia doesn't get close to this bargain price.

I just paid $368 to fly JFK-LHR round-trip.

No, you are not nuts. I recently bought a roundtrip ticket on Northwest for travel during the peak summer travel season (from end of June to mid-July) from LAX to MOntreal, Canada for $291. I used my entertainment discount and got it for $252.28. I will also earn about 5,000 freqent flyer mile for this trip.
Now, that's hard to beat.

Okay I will give it a try. As everyone knows if the price goes down you can always get the difference as a voucher with most airlines (ba seems to have something wrong with them.) So I bought a ticket sfo-msp on nw for July last month for $308 worth of voucher from a previous bump and when the price came down I phoned yesterday and now have another voucher for $100.50
So it would seem that on ticket that cost nothing, I've get a voucher for future travel. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
