I told beathen that our only really nasty quirk is the white slavery thing, but she seemed mostly unconcerned. P-C expressed gratitude at being immune.
F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Beathen, that was lovely.
Thanks.
Predictably, I have to work this weekend.
Yup, but this is on the way back - I don't ever need to take that last flight. Must ponder.
It's known as hidden-city ticketing. The airline will charge your card for the fare difference, and make your frequent flier account disappear. It technically violates the contract of carriage, and in extreme cases airlines will pursue legal action. They may also deny you boarding on future flights.
If it were me, I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the risk.
Well, nuts. Thought I had a $209 flight going. Back to the drawing board. But thanks, Maria.
Can you split the difference or something doing an open-jawed itinerary (ie- leave from one and return to the other)?
Doubt it - usually you can't get the super discount fares that way. But I'll check. And I'm still coming out under $300 regardless, so it's not like it's a dealbreaker or anything.
You're welcome, brenda.
Want me to give it a shot? I've got finding cheap flights down to a science. Profile addy is good.
Nah, it's cool.
Because of my scheduling woes (I'm trying to make a wedding in downtown Chicago at 1 p.m. on Saturday), I have to have a direct flight on the return, so there's not a whole lot of options. Two airlines have direct flights that get in early enough for me, so it'll be one of those two, it's just a matter of finding the best way to buy the ticket.
