| Hi Stacy  I'm going to move this over to the "Help Me Find a Deal" forum. I'm not really great with finding travel deals online because we're really limited here with what airlines we can use, but hopefully someone with more experience will read this & respond soon.

| Today is your lucky day... where to/from and what dates? Are they flexible on dates and times and are they willing to fly from an alternate airport... I can find it faster than sending you a kajillion links to search by... I AM the Travel Queen -- I took 15 people to Disney for ONE week with AIR and room and food and Disney Tix for less than $5000.00 most people spend that on 3 days on a family of FOUR hehe -- I also ski every single year with my family of six for next to nothing... You MUST be flexible for the best deal... And cruises... well just ask LOL ... __________________ [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]

| srondelet, I just bid airline tickets @priceline.com which did save me about 25% but as tracissavings says, you hav to be flexible. Priceline now has a promotional offer which gives each airline tickets extra $10 bonus, which means if your bid price is $100, priceline will search for a ticket of $110 value. Hope it helps. tracissavings, Iam going to Miami this November, I need some help booking hotels now, where can I find cheap lodging besides priceline? Iam also looking for a greyhound coupon code, do you have any clue?? thanks __________________ [Only registered and activated users can see links.

| tracissavings, thank you for your quick response!!! Only 2 adults including myself will be traveling to Miami on 11/23/02 to 11/30/02. My flight schedule is really bad, I depart from NYC @6pm & arrive MIA around 11:45pm on 11/23/02. I want to get a hotel near airport so that we can get there as soon as we get off and stay there for 2 nites. I hope I can get a hotel which will provide free shuttle service and hav a swimming pool. Then we plan to go to keywest by greyhound bus (thas y i need coupon code). I will be staying in Keywest for 1 nite and then heading back to South beach area in Miami. We will stay at a hotel in south beach area for the rest of our vacation. Our return flight schedule on 11/30/02 is 6:45 AM, I kno, I kno, its really bad..... I would like to pay around $50.00 (before tax) a nite around the airport area (with swimming pool & shuttle service btw the airport and the hotel). For Keywest, I really dont know yet, cux I have not done any research yet. I kno hotels on south beach are expensive, ppl bid at priceline pay around $70-85 (before tax) a nite there. Do you kno any other sites besides priceline or hotwire have huge discounts on hotels? thank you very much!! __________________ [Only registered and activated users can see links.

| I've looked all over online and I can't find anything from birmingham al to miami round trip from jan 23 to the 30th for less than around 250$. It really seems there should be less expensive flights. Can you help? Thanks.

| Double Dip If anyone uses Priceline.com just a little memo to use a program also that rewards for using priceline. Here is a listing [Only registered and activated users can see links.

| srondelet & tracis, I already bought the airline tickets @priceline which cost me @210 in total (NYC - MIA RT) including airport taxes, fees & PL processing fee, I think its reasonable, a warm deal for peak season, thansgiving week, I did check many airlines and the average price is around $250-300 (before tax). I think airfare from Birmingham to Miami costs much less. tracis, You mentioned theres a hotel @south beach area offers shuttle service from the airport to the hotel? Can you please tell me which one is it? Cux I called several hotels up in the south beach area and none of them provide shuttle service. I would love to get to the south beach as soon as I arrive Miami!!! Thanks. I think taking the greyhound bus to key west is my only option cux neither my friend or I drive!!! I kno $67.50 round trip for 2 adultes is expensive (not eligible for student, senior or military discount) thas y iam asking around for the coupon codes, if anyone knos, please post!! I did checked the key west shuttle & amtrak, they cost even more than greyhound, o well, hope theres 10% or 15% coupon code out there. __________________ [Only registered and activated users can see links.
