southwest has 175 each way non-stop from milwaukee

southwest has 168 each way non-stop from chicago

might be a good day to check airfares guys

Game time decision for me as far as what day heading there..

[milwaukee mike]

so you're buying last minute flights bigday?

wouldn't that be a lot more than $350 roundtrip?

[d2bets]

Are those really good prices? I have a hard time getting over paying around 200 round trip normally not that long ago. I'm never sure when to pull the trigger these days. Plus I hate flying out of Midway. Need O'Hare, although I could do Milwaukee if the price was right.

What dates you looking at, Mike? I'm thinking Fri/Mon.

Yah, unfortunately I won't know if my spousal unit will get any time off. First week back to school for admins is that week. Sucks.

[milwaukee mike]

i'm looking at leaving thursday coming back sunday.
as recently as yesterday it was 203 out and 204 back, now it's 175 out and 176 back.

anything under $400 is cheap these days. i know where you're coming from d2bets, i used to go to florida or vegas for $200 round trip 5-10 years ago but those days are pretty much long gone.

with southwest there's no baggage fees/change fees, the downside is you don't get a firm seat location at times but so what they're so much cheaper on non-stop flights

sucks that your wife has a job?

believe me it sucks even more that my wife DOESN'T have a job. spends all day thinking of ways to piss me off and spend my money rather than earning it

My apologies. It's just that when I go on a little vaca, I like to take at least 4-5 days. I told her I might fly her out on Friday. Lol

[milwaukee mike]

I've thought about going to bash but I feel some people may take my bad attitude on this board too seriously in person. Still considering it.

Horrible prices

I always fly outa Chicago to Vegas. Can catch round trip non stop via spirit or southwest for under 225. I've never paid more then 225 and I go 4-5 times a year

yeah but sometimes those get down to $89/115 each way from milwaukee and sometimes they don't. from midway i would agree if you keep checking every day for a few months you'll probably be able to catch cheaper. but is it worth that much time and effort to try to get 225 instead of 250?

southwest adjusts the price and gives you credit when it goes down anyway, so i would rather lock in at the 250.

keep in mind my point was that the prices have been 204 each way for weeks now, and just dropped yesterday

people have short memories and for the most part don't hold grudges about what was typed on the internet

also 1/2 the people at the bash are guys that never post

Thank you Mike.

Best time to book is 3-4 weeks before your trip.

Unless you're from the west coast, then its usually the week / day of the trip.

Hate waiting that long. Then the price goes up and you never know when to buy. I like to buy 8-10 weeks out.

Do it. Message board is just shit talking. Everyone's cool at the bash.
