Funny thing I've found though, a company that will gladly drop $3k to change a few colors and a font on a web form will sometimes throw a fit over reimbursing a $350 plane ticket. Not all dollars are equal.
- jebblue 15y agoI think that's a brilliant observation and accurate.
- baddox 15y agoThat's the cheapest round trip plane ticket I've ever heard of.
- mikeash 15y agoI'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I just punched in an arbitrary roundtrip from Columbus, OH to NYC and got several options at $355 including all taxes and fees.
- baddox 15y agoNot being sarcastic, I had just never seen one that low. I've flown only a handful of times (between SF and Missouri, usually booked about a month or two in advance), and the cheapest round trip option I had ever seen is $600.
- mikeash 15y agoUnderstandable, then. Roundtrip fares are so heavily dependent on the individual route and when you travel. I did a quick search from SF to DC and got prices as low as $319, despite being considerably farther than MO. I often do roundtrips from DC to South Florida for under $200. But pick the wrong pair of cities and you can definitely be hurting.
- _delirium 15y agoThat's even a somewhat uncompetitive route; if you're doing a city pair with a lot of competition, it's more like $200s; e.g. Atlanta<->Houston is typically $200-250 roundtrip.
- tibbon 15y agoAverage tickets that I see from Columbus to NYC, Boston or SF are between $310 and $375
