So I am considering going to the Dolphins/Carolina game and most of the flight tickets around my area seem to go between $350 to $400. Basically there are not any "major" airports near me, more or less decent sized ones. Des Moines, IA. Cedar Rapids, IA. Dubuque, IA. Waterloo, IA. Those are the ones I have been looking at.
I could look into Chicago, but that's a 5 hour drive for me... I'd much rather drive an hour, if possible.
Anyways, are there any tricks or tips some of you guys have for buying a flight ticket. Maybe even someplace with a student discount as I am going to college. I always hear of people getting these "amazing deals" on their flight ticket prices but I am never able to find them. Thanks!

Priceline, name your own price. You can get up to 40% off.
If you know how much a ticket normally costs, just take 35% off and put that as your named price. I think you'd have a decent shot of it being accepted.GridIronKing34 likes this. -
Move the hell out of BFE Iowa would be my first suggestion :up:
As Pete mentioned, priceline is a gamblers way. Try travelocity z(My favorite) or travelzoo. They will show prices for all airlines.....cept Southwest, but that shouldn't affect you :up:opfinistic and GridIronKing34 like this. -
I'd like to move to Los Angeles or New York when I graduate to pursue a career in filmography... but first I have to graduate. :wink2:

Yea, I got my tickets for 30% off the lowest price shown on travelocity (around $70 off), so I definitely think priceline is the way to go if you can travel any time of day or night.
