Need Help On Airline Ticket

I have searched everywhere for a reasonable roundtrip fare from Atlanta to Amsterdam end of April 2002. Best I can find is around $700. Anyone have a suggestion.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Charlie

I just put in some dates at the end of April on Hotwire and came up with $436. You don't know who, how or when (time of day) you are flying until you purchase the ticket but if you can live with that you can save some money.

Visit www.sidestep.com and install its searchware on your system. Then, no matter what site you use (even consolidators), Sidestep will run a comparison price search. A good site to use is www.orbitz.com.<BR><BR>I visited Orbitz [w/Sidestep running simultaneously] and did a search for dep 4/20 and ret 4/29 and came up with $618 per Sidestep as the cheapest on Delta.<BR><BR>But, if you don't mind flying "blind", as Gretchen suggests, then try the consolidator sites.

That $351 fare doesn't really have any dates ANY time in April. But travelocity does indeed have a fare of "599" (but the actual fare is $670.50 once fees and taxes are added). This fare DOES show availability, at least for the dates Apr 23-May 7, which is what I checked.<BR><BR>Short of using hotwire, I suspect this is a pretty good price, and you might want to proceed.<BR><BR>The one other possibility is to ask around and see if you know anyone who has a Northwest Airlines PD540 certificate they would be willing to give up (or are you a World Perks member yourself? maybe they will send you one). This current promotion is good through the end of May and has fares in the sub-$450 range.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Contact NWA, give them reference code PD532, your rate should be $349.00 before taxes.

I don't believe that you can use that promo code without a certificate number. I have a good deal on a different promotion (hoping my daughter and boyfriend can use it), good through May 31 - - and (I know this sounds stingy and gloating) but I consider it as (non)-share-able as a $1000 bill.<BR>
