Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 I'm sorry guys, but the Dallas airports are just so expensive to fly out of. I even tried a domestic consolidator for Genz and they gave me a price of $639.00 better than the $1400.00, but still pricey. ; o ( The lower rate medical emergency thingie wouldn't work either unless it's a life or death situation. I don't think the airlines are really aware of what is really gonna happen with all of you hoochie Mama's trolling Durham unattended. Be kind to the city ladies!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Genz, This is Joannie in Irving. Here is a tip for all of you: " The airlines' computers are programmed to sell the greatest number of seats at the highest fares. They realease cheap seats close to flight time if they havent sold them at the higher fares. Recommendation: Use only travel agents that contract with one of the pre-ticketing audit services. These services monitor travel agency bookings and check fares once every 12-24 hrs. As cheaper seats become available, they automatically change your reservation to reflect the lower rate. Most likely to be bumped froma flight: Late arrivals. " Another tip: if you are a doctor or nurse and willing to be on 24-hr call... to musicians and entertainers willing to perform, to cosmetology who can barter their services for a ride, can usually get reduced or free rides in most commercial carriers, plane, train, CRUISE.... THINK ABOUT IT!!! I know that American used to have a getaway weekend, leave on Friday or Saturday and return Monday or Tuesday and if you have too, its cheap enuf to buy one each way or pay the 75$ charge to change for the following week.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Gee Genz, you're so tiny now...can't they just squeeze you in a luggage carrier or something? I've heard about your baby blues...can't you go flirt with some pilot and have him smuggle you aboard? I think and Flo are going to have their hands full with Trish, so I'm going to run amuck. I think you and I could have a blast! Hoping you get a good price on Priceline... Amy Re: Re: Getting Genz to RDU Hi Joanne, Thanks for all your help.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2000 Report Share Posted July 20, 2000 Joannie-- After reading these posts for the last few weeks, it seems that you're the travel expert " in these parts. " I live in Wichita, Kansas and you cannot get ANYWHERE cheaply from here! I travel almost monthly for work and usually have to spend around $1,000 round trip. For surgery, I am considering leaving from Kansas City (a 3-hour drive from Wichita) in order to save money. I'm hoping to have surgery in the next couple of weeks (just waiting on insurance) and would love some help getting flight arrangements--I've never been overly impressed with the agent I use to book business trips. I'll be traveling with my wonderful husband. If you're interested, please let me know how to get in contact with you. You can email me at dnjester*swbell.net (replace the * with @). Thanks!
