Default Adive on buying Airline Tickets please

I live in Massachusetts and want to
visit my brother and nephew in
Las Vegas sometime in March or April.

All the cheapest flights seem to
be out of Manchester N.H..

Whats the best way to get a good deal on a
round trip ticket

Thanks

Kevin

Yeah, if you're at UMass-Lowell, you should definitely try Manchester
Airport.. cheaper to park, no traffic, and Southwest Airlines keeps all the
fares down since they fly out of there and not out of BOS.

I live south of Boston and fly out of TF Green Airport in Providence for
those reasons.

For Southwest, that would be their website.
Normally as soon as possible.

www.southwest.com

Available tickets on each flight are broken into anywhere from 2 to 5 or 6
fares, with restrictions (like advance purchase requirements) that get
stricter as they get cheaper. Normally the most restricted ones sell out
first, so if you wait too long, you're stuck buying the unrestricted,
expensive ones. If you're traveling on a weekend or holiday, then you will
get best results at least a month before the flight.

On the other hand, sometimes even those are quite reasonably priced, and an
unrestricted ticket is a very liberating thing to hold. You can show up
for any flight you want, as long as there is an empty seat (or is one when
you phone them), you're on. Or you can get a ride back in someone's car and
get a full refund for the ticket.
