Discussion: 1000 Day Flights

American seems to have started a sale. Anyone thinking of going might like to latch onto tickets to Denver soon.

It's in retaliation for a United sale into Dallas and St Louis if anyone is going (to or from) there. (tomwcarr, it might be a good day to check fares for a lot of future travel on United if you're happy enough to use them...)

For those who track airfares, there's a new site useful for the purpose: http://www.farecompare.com. You can get a map with the cheapest flights from your home city to most major US and international airports. It's similar to Travelocity's 'Dream Maps' if you've used that, but much more functional. It will also give you graphs of historical pricing by route so you know whether you're getting a good deal or not, and therefore whether it would be better to buy or wait (if you're feeling lucky).
For example, here's the map with Boston as the center and US destinations. And this and this are graphs showing that the United $140 fare from Boston to St Louis posted this morning is - really annoyingly - an outstanding fare - but unfortunately it's not valid for less than 7 day advance purchase, so no last minute team trialling for me!

Figures. Just last week I booked all of our travel through the GHO event in Oct.

nifty tool - $140 RT from hartford to denver - only problem is there doesn't seem to be any availability on flights back from denver... :-(

Just move to Laramie and call it a day.

It does look like flights out of Denver on the afternoon of Sunday 8/20 are not cheap. You might have to go the next day (or maybe fly out of Colorado Springs) if you want a reasonable deal. That's still there (from Hartford) for $240, taxes included.
