I wasn't saying a particular site simply that the fares or the fare
availability on a particular flight might well change during the night. I suspect that the airline sight would be good for seat availability changes but they are fully capable of releasing a block of cheap seats to a particular wholesaler. If any one site were consistently best the others would be out of business. FFM poldy wrote: In article , "Frank F. Matthews" wrote: You might.

(abdul rahim) wrote in om: suddenly, as of april 1, round-trip fares in May to Athens (from Dulles) went up from $900 to $1,200! Will there be another chance at a reasonable fare? I'd thought $900 was too much, but goddamn! $1,200 hurts. look for the fare to go down in September for October travel. They are having the Olympics (or so we all hope) this summer Athens fares will stay high I got a ticket from Dulles to Frankfurt for $526 direct for end of this month. This is on Lufthansa.. Contiential had a $397 flight. "Doemstic" EU flights on easyjet or Ryanair are cheap, however I am not sure if they have a flight to athens. Always see about a train to another city ? That maybe about $100-$150 each depending on your class of travel. |
