I have been looking for a cheap way to fly home to SC at the beginning of June. Let me tell you Plane Tickets are a Rip Off. For my and my daughter to fly 500 miles/1000 round trip it was going to cost over $700. Unbelievable. Two years ago we both flew the same trip for like $450. I tried every single Flight Booking site out there and all of them were ranging from $650 to $750 for the flights I wanted to take. I know it’s probably the time we are going, and that I am only booking 3 weeks in advance.
Finally after searching for 2 days I came across Cheaptickets.com. No this is not a paid review for them, just a praise. Cheaptickets saved me about $200 on our flight. Only $505 for us to get to SC from PA. It sounds a lot better than paying $700. Though I prefer to fly with US Airways, and flight in to NC then to SC, the price to depart with Delta to GA and then to SC and return on US Airways though NC was a better deal. Times where a little off from what I wanted to but hey it saved me some money.
What Cheaptickets does is gives you a list of the cheapest options to fly to your destination. So you may have to fly to a different stop or at a odd time but the prices are better than the other booking sites. I have used the others in the past and got okay deals but I think from now on I will check Cheaptickets before I do the others and compare the price.
So it is set I will be on vacation from May 31st - June 8th. I definitely need a getaway. We are visiting my family so that my daughter can have some time with them. I hope to get to the beach and plan a few fun activities, sense my mom has already taken that week off work.
If anyone would like to throw in a guest post for that week let me know.

Nice to hear that Cheaptickets.com saved you some money, but I would encourage you to educate yourself about the airline industry before deciding that “Plane Tickets are a Rip Off.”
The average cost of fuel alone for a round trip flight on US Airways (yes, this is a simplification, but it illustrates the point) has gone from $55 in 2001 to $299 today. ALL the major hub-and-spoke airlines are losing money right now, with fuel prices having doubled in the past year.
