Reasonable air fare
 
I need to have a reasonable air fare for a very short, but, important, time in December. Obviously, at Christmas time. My dates are only for 2 days. The dates are, 12-23 thru 12-25, evening flights both ways. We are in the midwest, and will be flying to the Pacific Northwest. I would very much appreciate any help regarding which airlines or travel sites that I should go to. Thanks very much.

Check out Travelocity.com or Lowestfare.com <BR> <BR>You might also want to keep tabs on Southwest if they're accessible to you. You can usually find some very good fares with them.

I agree with the above post but you could do more. If you have the time and patience, my suggestion would be to find out which airlines service the route you need and then check their websites on an (almost) daily basis. I have found that the airlines will consistently run specials over the internet subject to how full flights are projected to be. I have travelcity best fares posted on my homepage for specific destinations I am interested in and they change regularly. Then I check out the airline websites to see if there are other fares.

Joy-my husband is from Seattle so we go out there alot. Where would you leave out of the Midwest and where in the Northwest?Also,can you move the two dates one day or another?Traditionally,Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are really quiet and alot of the airlines cancel some of their flights/or change the way they are operated so make sure before you book.Give us some more info and we can try and help you.
