Nature Air terminology
 
Checked Nature Air website and saw different fare categories with different prices: elite, promo, locos. Can someone please help with an explanation? I thought I could figure it out with a basic understanding of these words, but the "loco" category causes some concern. Thanks.

I believe they're all the same ticket, but you get a break if you're one of the first couple people to buy a ticket on that particular flight. If you find a flight that you want with a "loco" price option, grab it! You won't see those prices again.

They're the names they give to their three fares. "Locos" is in the sense of "You gotta be crazy to offer fares like these, but we do!" If you click on the names, you see a description of the conditions of the fare. "Loco" has zero flexibility. You can't change your ticket. You don't fly, you lose what you paid. The other two have a bit more flexibility.

The locos are the ones people always post on here about, "I got a loco fare!" It's a great deal - a bargain.

Many thanks for the prompt and helpful replies. Great forum here, thanks to posters like you.

In volcanogirl's words, "I GOT A LOCO FARE!"

Yes, I did! Just now! I thought I'd missed out on them, but I checked today and there they were again! Woo-Hoo!

Thanks hop_along, if it hadn't been for your post, I would not have checked that today.

Now just how did you do that shillmac?!

I tried to get the loco fare for June trip but had to settle for the promo price. I did get a few loco flights last year. If you're looking for flights and see that loco fare, grab it as they go quick!

She's shillmac - she's magic! :)

I went to the site to see if the Promo flights were still there as hop_along reminded me that I needed to GET THOSE BOOKED--knowing I'd already missed out on the Locos. And the Locos were there. Heck of a deal! I was due a good turn this week! :)
