Finding Airline Tickets Under 100 Dollars

Posted January 12th, 2010 by admin

I’ve always been a cost conscious person who enjoys finding a great deal, so when I found an airline ticket under 100 dollars, I just had to brag. It was not an airline tickets anywhere exotic, but nonetheless the price could not be beat. It was a ticket to South Carolina, and it was just in the nick of time. There was a bluegrass festival going on there, and I was desperate to see it. Some very good friends of mine were going to be there playing, and they had told me that I could play along if I showed up. I knew that I would have to find cheap tickets if I was going to make it. After all, I was pretty broke.

There were plenty of cheap airline tickets available that time of year, the winter, but no airline tickets for under 100 dollars. I was not surprised by this fact, but I was determined to find something a little bit cheaper. Thankfully, I have a friend who is employed by the airline industry, so I asked him to lend a hand. He was usually pretty hesitant about doing favors, but he was also a big fan of bluegrass so he pulled some strings. Because he was an employee of the airlines, he could easily find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars. It was all just a matter of transferring the ticket to me. Transferring tickets is a little bit tough, but he was able to do it.

What surprised me was that sometimes you really can find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars online. When I came back from the trip, I looked around out of curiosity. The destinations I wanted to travel to began at 200 per flight with many of them quite a bit higher. Nonetheless, I did find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars into Idaho. At those prices, it makes a worthwhile weekend trip even if I am only four or five hours drive away.
