I live in Atlanta and am wanting to visit Ireland in late May with a return trip in the first week of June. I am aware of some of the tricks one can employ to find the best possible prices (delete cookies, use incognito, use a VPN, etc). I have found the task to be a bit tedious and am hoping there is a website or app that can help make the process a bit easier. In the end, I would like to find out what the absolute lowest price is using both round-trip and one-way 'deals' out of whatever US-based airports would be cheapest. Any advice or directions to an app, website, or service that can do this while utilizing the 'tricks' (VPN, etc.) is greatly appreciated.

I searched and flight matrix provided these codes less than an hour before being on the phone with a Delta rep. The lady got a bit fussy with me and asked if I was a travel agent? Then told me those fares weren't right and insisted the codes I had didn't exist. Has anyone else had this issue?

While the title may not say it all, I have a question regarding flights with layovers.

The title does suggest that I am attempting to purchase a flight. My intentions are to go from A-B. In my research I have determined that purchasing a ticket from A-B is more expensive than purchasing a ticket from A-B-C.

Destination B is not my end goal, I have additional flights booked a day later, then my return is a week after that.

My question than becomes if I was to book flight A-B-C and only travel the A-B part forfeiting the C leg of the journey do I incur additional fees? Can they cancel my separate ticket booked a day later?

Any insight is appreciated!

So my wife and I flew into Myrtle Beach last Tuesday, and we were scheduled to return home on Sunday. Sunday morning we get a message from the airline that the flight is cancelled (we were told the pilot did not show for work). They booked us on another carrier at an airport 3.5 hours away, and when we arrived we were too late to check-in. It cost us another $1116 dollars to change to the next flight out. They sent two vouchers for $50 and gave us a $7 meal voucher for waiting in line three hours that morning. I've left multiple messages with the airline GM at the Myrtle Beach airport, and I've received no responses to those messages. I sent an email to the airline agent that booked the flight, and I've received no response. I spoke with the US call center supervisor, and she has indicated that their is no one higher in the chain of command that I can speak to about the situation.

Anyone have any advise, or do I have any recourse at this point?

I'm trying to book flights using ITA Matrix and Google Flights but I just don't understand how to use them. I found a very cheap flight that was listed on both of these websites, so then I went to Expedia to try and book it (I entered the same date, departure and destination city) but for some reason the cheapest flight they are showing is significantly more expensive than what I found on ITA Matrix and Google Flights.

I also tried booking directly from the airline website but this isn't working either. Since I'm flying to China, I have to transfer from Alaska Airlines to China Eastern Airlines. Thus, when I go to the Alaska Airlines website, they don't allow me to enter Jinan (my destination city) as the destination city. When I go to the China Eastern website, they say there are no available flights from Seattle to Jinan.

I probably sound pretty stupid, but this is only the second time I've booked international flights so I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Not sure if many of you know, pretty sure it would be very few who are aware... of r/https://matrix.itasoftware.com/ which is a site for advanced air fare search. That I have done, with a lot of tinkering with the advanced routing codes and what not.

I have found the cheapest possible I can for a planned trip but I cannot find a travel agency or online site that will review it to match or quote what they will charge for the route I have found.

Anyone know of any online site that will quote based on an itinerary? Or any other suggestions you might have?

Thanks.

Now let’s look at 5 awesome tools that can reduce airfare prices even further. You probably never heard of them…..

1 - MISTAKE FARES Yep…..there is such a thing as “mistake fares” and there are several websites that track them and let you know when they happen.* Secret Flying - posts many times throughout the day whenever a new mistake fare comes in, and the best way not to miss out is to follow them on Twitter @SecretFlying - or Google , Facebook, Instagram.

For Facebook, be sure to set “See first" and “All on” for notifications as Facebook will otherwise only show you 16% of all posts for any page you follow.* The Flight Deal - posts about 10 times a day, and the best way to receive alerts is once again, to follow them on twitter - @TheFlightDealThere is also a daily email summary, but by the time you get it, the fares may already be gone or sold out. So far, this service is only available for flights originating in the US, but destinations are worldwide.

2 - SKIPLAGGED :“Skiplagged” employs a technique called “hidden cities” - and it’s supposed to be a “hidden” technique…;-)In fact, several of the major airlines sued the 22-year-old founder of Skiplagged for revealing this technique (so far without success) - though it’s really nothing new.You have probably used this technique at one time or another without knowing its name.What does “Hidden Cities” mean? Let’s say you want to fly non-stop from Atlanta to Denver but all ticket options are really expensive. There might, however, be a better price when flying to a different destination with a lay-over in Denver. In that case, you simply get off in Denver and don’t continue the rest of the trip.Skiplagged helps you find those “hidden city” deals and the savings can be substantial. Two things to keep in mind:*  don’t check any luggage as that will be delivered to  the final destination*  book 2 one-way tickets, instead of 1 round trip ticket, because once you miss a leg of the journey, the entire ticket will be voided.

I'm planning on flying to Budapest in July. From my research, the flight I want (AF 23) gets in 70 min before the flight I'm connecting to (AF 1394) Can someone please figure out which terminals these are in, and most importantly how feasible a transfer this tight is? I'm plenty agile and I probably wouldn't have to carry much. sooner the better thanks!

Flights are from many different locations in the US and run from Sept through Dec.
