Cheap Fare Seen
 

Via Travelocity: DFW r/t KOA $600 approx, appears to be Mon to Thurs travel days only.<BR>Other cities may have similar, FWIW.<BR>Good Hunting !

Wow! What a great fare, I guess, since I have no clue what KOA stands for. Can you be more vague, esp. with a header like "cheap fare seen."

Well posting was supposed to appear under "Hawaii", so apologies. <BR>As you might think from a fare posting, KOA is an airport code = Kona, Big Island. It is indeed a great fare, currently on UAL but may spread to other airlines and cities like sales often do.

Actually it is a great airfare. KOA is Kona for those too lame to look it up.. <BR>xx, nice attitude towards someone trying to offer valid info.

Shannon, you miss the point. A header of "$600 fare: DFW to Kona" would have been great! How many people bypassed this entire piece of info because of the stupid header?

DD grow up and find something else to be negative about. Thanks P

To Shannon and Bob: A lot of us find better and more productive ways to spend our time than memorizing the abbreviations for the world's airports!

Duh: Well than would you like help if understanding how to locate airport codes if you don't know them? Get on with your productive ways they seem to be escaping you here. <BR><BR>P is that summer airfare, I saw fares over $1000.

I keep this on my desktop, and refer to it when needed. Hope it helps others.<BR><BR>Sheila<BR><BR>http://www.expedia.com/daily/airports/AirportCodes.asp

I got the airport codes but what the hell does FWIW mean??

I do NOT believe I've seen more numskulls in my life! Bob, Percy, and Shannon - incredible idiots.<BR><BR>You get the picture of these folks -<BR>TIGHT lips - requesting "could you paahsss ze Grey Poupon Please".<BR><BR>Get off your kick. Don't post a Stupid post to "HELP" people and then tell them to go look up the airport code.<BR>For CRYIN' out loud add the DAMN in for KONA was that too much to do or are you too pompous and need to show how bright you are b/c you know airport codes!<BR><BR>I assume FWIW means fares within week but please Bob Percy and Shannon tell me where I can look this up!

Thats suppose to be add the Damn "N" in for Kona on the previous post - God knows I don't want to be lambasted by the trio for that one.

Actually you can get a summer fare to Kona, or elsewhere in Hawaii, for less than $600.00 depending on where your traveling from. Expedia is good, but not the best.

Hi P I am not able to get that fare on United what time of year are you going?<BR><BR>

Rebecca - take a hint from Bruce - the trio is one in the same. This post was started to piss people off by using their 6.20 hourly airline employee codes. There is no incredible fare.

Fares within week? I thought FWIW was "for what it's worth"? Well, p?

xxx..xx This trio is NOT one and the same. FWIW = for what it's worth, a common abbreviation on the net. I guess you're too busy flaming off to actually READ anything.<BR><BR>The fare (as of now) still exists. <BR>Go to Travelocity.com; enter DFW/KOA and select "my dates are flexible". <BR>You will see the United Airlines fare come up; select it and you will see the days (in green) for which it is valid. From there I assume you can understand what to do next.<BR>p

Wow I just found it!!!!! Wow again now you tell me after I paid $1000 into Lihue from JFK . Oh well I could never wait this long to plan for August. Good luck to those of you lucky enough still to have open travel time left.<BR>

Rebecca, don't feel bad - the cheap fare appears to be Kona only, at least for now !

Make it a foursome of losers. That people could be so ignorant and small-minded as to verbally attack someone who is trying to help is depressing. <BR>No doubt this post will only incite further schoolyard name-calling, but I've had my say.<BR>Thanks, "p" - the information is appreciated.

Ms. Piggy, what people are saying is that this post isn't terribly helpful to a lot of people because (a) many won't read it because of the silly header and (b) many more won't know what KOA stands for or how to find it. There are MANY goofy airport codes (EWR-Newark, MSY-New Orleans, ORD-Chicago, etc) and not everyone can so easily figure them out. I appreciate P.'s post but a few more keystrokes would have made it much more helpful.

Adam, I see your point, but wouldn't it have been just as easy to phrase comments politely, as you just did, instead of regressing to childish name-calling? p was, after all, only trying to be helpful!

Thanks Adam.<BR>Ms. Piggy, If you read carefully you will notice that Shannon and Bob were the ones to really "incite" people by saying how lame we are for not knowing what KOA stands for and for being too lazy to figure it out! <BR>As Adam said - a couple more keystrokes babe and don't call us idiots for not looking up the "helpful" info you posted!

xxxwill you get over it already I was responding to DD, perhaps this is you . Think you are the one that needs to read carefully look at the entire thread, people were more bent on slaming instead of being happy for the find.

Does not seem like anyone is traveling anymore. This time last year people would have been very excited about this news. And yes last year there were enough seasoned travelers on board not to nicpick over the header or the airport code. Wake me up when the economy is in a healthy state again, please. Thanks for trying p. I do feel better this was for KOA and not LIH.

OK p., since we're assuming everyone not only knows all airfport codes and exactly how to figure them out, what's the fare from BDL to KOA? Thanks so much.

See my earlier but substutute BDL for DFW ... and, at this moment, you get:<BR><BR>Round-Trip not including applicable charges* Price: USD 1223.88 <BR> <BR> American Airlines <BR>offers connecting service Advance Purchase: See Rules Rules <BR> <BR>Earliest Travel: 28Aug02 <BR>Latest Travel: 14Dec02 <BR>Earliest Return: 03 days <BR>Latest Return: 60 days <BR><BR>BUT, if you follow their suggestion & depart from Kong Isl (ISP) it's: $1116.63 <BR><BR>Give it a try

You have more patience than I p.
