Airline Tickets (OT)

Cidu Bill on Nov 4th 2011

A while back, I heard that if you absolutely have to endure the inconvenience and indignity of commercial flights, the rule of thumb is to buy tickets two months ahead: either earlier or later, and you’ll probably pay more.

Does anybody know whether this is still (or ever was) true?

Any other advice (other than the very obvious “pack up the car and drive cross-country instead”) would also be appreciated.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Cidu Bill on Sep 30th 2010

I haven’t flown in just over 5 years. At the time, new airline regulations were tougher than when I flew two weeks after 9/11, and I have a feeling it’s even worse now. And of course there are the airlines’ latest penny-pinching measures.

So if you’ve flown recently, be straight with me: how horrendous a nightmare should I look forward to?

(Jet Blue from JFK to Crocodilebutt Florida, by the way)
