Ticket Prices - No good deals - Are there better sites?
I have been pricing a ticket from Spokane Washington (geg) to Chicago
leave June 2 and return June 9. Travelocity, Priceline, Orbitz and Sidestep all come up with the same prices and teh prices are the same as the airlines? Where do you look? Thanks Skip |

Southwest shows $300 but you have to spend most of each day traveling.
That's above America West's cost on Orbitz but below the others. The America West red eye is under $250. You won't find anything less.

Plane fares in the U.S. are unregulated, so the price the airlines publish is the real fare. Spokane is a small airport, and it's 1500 miles from Chicago, so I wouldn't expect to find anything extremely cheap. As someone else noted, America West has a $240 fare if you're willing to fly in the middle of the night and change planes in Las Vegas, or about $295 if you want to fly at normal times. Everyone else's fare is over $300. If you want to fly nonstop, that's $380 on the single nonstop that United offers. |

www.hotwire.com has it for $288 including booking fee, and they say it's not
a red-eye--but other than that they won't tell you the travel times... |

It looks like America West shows around $240, which seems reasonable to me. You could also try the older "bidding" style of Priceline. I don't think you did this. |
