Definitly on the same quest, well mine to from Washington, DC To Detroit What I am doing is going to several travel websites (Cheaptickets.com, Cheapseats.com, Orbitz.com, expedia.com...I cant think of anymore right now) and when you find a flight that you like, check out the airline's website, you can somtimes get it for about 10/15 dollars cheaper. Hope this helps

you can usually get flights for less than other posted prices on priceline, but you don't get to choose which airline or what time your flight arrives/leaves

I've done it multiple times though, and sometimes you can save a lot of money.

Under $200 if you're willing to ride Greyhound.

Last time when I was trying to make it to Ann Arbor for the retreat greyhound was 118, but went up and last time I didnt send in my reservation, but this time I did.

Its just the whole transfer thing with greyhound.

I used Orbitz.com for my last trip. They ended up being the least expensive.

A couple of them you cant because you have to have an adult or a senior with you *rolls eyes* This smells of elderberries.

Hotwire.com is pretty good for hotels (that is all I use it for) but I think they had airlines and stuff as well and are supposed to be cheap.

Well, first off there is only one airport that services Detroit and Ann Arbor, Detroit Metro. The airport code is DTW.

Secondly, DTW is the hub of NWA, northwest airlines. So, they'd probably have the cheapest tickets from MSP to DTW. MSP (Minneapolis) is one of their other hubs....

Tickets are cheapest at midnight on Tuesdays I've heard. Apparently that's when airlines reset their fares. Buying from the airline sites should be cheapest as most travel sites now charge a fee and the airlines charge if you call em.

Also, if you can fly early am on a friday or sat and return on a mon/tues you may get a cheaper flight. Good luck!

I use expedia, but there is no cheap flight from MPLS to Detroit....trust me....I live in Detroit and went to college in MPLS, where most of my friends are.

What are your dates......? $258 is the cheapest I can find.

You could go to flyi.com or airtran.com. The only thing is that the 1st one you stop in dc and the 2nd one you stop in atl. I fly on the east coast but if you're in the midwest these airlines might be more inconvenient.

[Birgitta Noel]

Hmmmm, pm me some dates and I'll see what I can find....

[AlterDominicus]

The dates are

Departure: Oct. 22
Return: Oct. 23

it's hard to find cheap flights within the US. i'd suggest just looking around at the different sites already mentioned, and see what's around. college students can also use [url="http://www.studentuniverse.com"]http://www.studentuniverse.com[/url] which has good prices as well.

Ummm, ok, tell me a little more. Can you be a bit more flexible, say returning on the 24th in the am? Or Coming in on the 21 late evening?

What time do you have to be there by on the 22nd? And what's the earliest you can be at the airport on the 23rd?
