Cheap Ticket Fast
« on: July 11, 2002, 08:32:00 PM »
I really need a ticket to Madrid out of New York for next month. As you know, August is high season and most tickets aren\\\'t any less than 1,000 dollars. I can\\\'t possible afford to spend that large amount of money when I need every penny trying to make a new life in Madrid.

I have put together my resume to teach english and have made some contact for jobs. Although none of those opportunities would offer to pay my plan ticket there.

I\\\'ve looked into all the most common sites
[!-- BBCode auto-link start --][a href=\"http://www.expedia.com\" target=\"_blank\"]www.expedia.com[/a][!-- BBCode auto-link end --]
[!-- BBCode auto-link start --][a href=\"http://www.travelocity.com\" target=\"_blank\"]www.travelocity.com[/a][!-- BBCode auto-link end --]
[!-- BBCode auto-link start --][a href=\"http://www.orbitz.com\" target=\"_blank\"]www.orbitz.com[/a][!-- BBCode auto-link end --]
etc....

Any other sites or possibilites you know of?

Thanks,
Nomad  :worry:

    Thank you so much. This seems to be a great resource. I read through the website and will contact them about some of my questions.

    Have you ever used this system? If so, what did you think?

    Again, THANKS!

    I\\\'ve never used a courier flight. They were very popular in the 80\\\'s and a few people I knew used them successfully. The thing is, they are not stable. You need to be EXTREMELY spontaneous and adaptable. In other words, if you are trying to get to Madrid, they may only offer you a flight to Barcelona. You\\\'d have to take it. ALSO, a word of caution: with today\\\'s heavy US airport security they just may ban courier flights. You might want to ask the FAA about it.

    As for AirHitch, I knew the owner personally. Very sharp guy!

    That\\\'s as much info as I have.

    Hey nomad, wait till September, the flight prices drop majorly!



    My brother did the courrier thing years back to Asia and it got him the ticket for 30% of (not off) the normal price. Just carried a package.
