Need Airline Ticket Advice

DH has to fly down to Florida for a wake and funeral. What airlines/websites should I check for the cheapest rates?

TIA

Jetblue tends to be pretty cheap. Check them out & see what prices they have.

I agree with Jetblue. Out of Islip, Southwest Airlines is also inexpensive.

Re: Need Airline Ticket Advice

Everything that I am finding is almost $200 each way. Do you think it is because it is over the weekend?

I was going to say Jet Blue as well. I wonder if you call them and explain the situation if they can cut you a further break. Can't hurt to try, right?

It would be nice to fly out of Islip - but if he has to JFK is fine.
He would fly into Ft Myers.
We are just waiting to see when the arrangements are for - to know exactly when he is going.

Re: Need Airline Ticket Advice

Try to check all the FL airports...It could be a PITA but it might be cheaper to fly into Ft. Lauderdale, West palm or something like that, rent a car and drive the 4 hours over
(ALthough I don't know if you guys have time limitiations)

That might be fine. He is just looking to go down quick and come back quick - so he is not leaving me home alone - pregnant.

On Southwest - his ticket would be $183 going down and they have no flights back up.

On Jet Blue - it is $214 - to go down and $299 to come back up Chat Icon
