Airfare to Vegas RX Bash

bigtex · May 24, 2008

I found this site that compares the prices of most airlines and gives you the Flight numbers so you can book it yourself using the exact itinerary.
It looks like it will save me about $200 for 2 people off SWA best price.

I logged in as a guest and it worked fine.
I hope some of you can use it save some money also.
Let me know if it works for you.

thanks tex...I got southwest airfare... its the cheapest I found but I did not use that site

bigtex · May 24, 2008

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your R/T on Southwest? It came out to $300 per person for me and on this site it is about $200 per person.

I like SWA because of all the free drink coupons that I have available to use.

I prefer to save $200.

Kayak.com is a good one. They cover pretty much everyone but SW.

I am pretty sure this was the same poster who posted this two years ago, and it was a false website....I remember Viking611 getting screwed out of his airfare, because he booked it with this site......My opinion....don't use it!

I remember that also. That URL is way too shady sounding. Site looks like garbage.

Rob, if there is one thing people always say to me, is "J...you have an amazing memory."......I remember this poster's name.....and my friend Viking611 booked his flight and got screwed.....If I had time to look for the thread, I would find it.....On a side note, hope you are doing well

wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the link he posted?

billsfan · May 24, 2008

Yeah, and I remember Teaze they did that two years ago, literally less than a hour that the thread was started...Hope you are doing well....

RobFunk · May 24, 2008

I am always looking for a good deal on flights. If I remember correctly I posted that I found a website doing a search as alot of us do. I am no expert on the internet but it helps to do a further search to see if it is legitimate. Viking purchased a ticket and said it was not a good deal but I recall he said he paid with a credit card and would have to wait to get reimbused. I did not mean to mislead anyone and he never mentioned it again.

This website that I posted today was to compare Airfares and then you can call the airline and book it directly with the Airline since they give you a flight number also. How is that misleading? It just saves you alot of legwork as far as comparing prices.

Just trying to help.

This site was to compare the price on different Airlines. This site does not sell or book Airline Tickets.

Does that Make it Garbage ROB?

She has an amazing memory.

To clear the air on this business the website Bigtex mentioned back in 2006 was Ticketsaver.net. And as far as I know according to the internet is still in business.

The discount website he posted in this thread is called ITA Software Trip Planner.

I also logged in as a guest.

Before we discredit Bigtex for trying to help Rxers please contact ITA at

So before we panic and make any decisions about longtime veteran poster Bigtex's motive's please do some home work. There is a lot more about ITA Software Trip Planner all over the internet. I am certain he is just trying to help. Today there are literally hundreds of discount airline ticket websites on the internet and from the research I have done ITA is as reputable as any.

Thanks, wil..
