[Daviselk]

So as stated above.. i am in search of an airplane ticket... and need some help i guess. i am in the militay and have a wedding coming up july12 back home... and am looking for a flight, the depart and ruturn times are somewhat flexable, but the dates are set on. Does anybody know of any sites or any tricks that can help me out to get a cheaper flight?

it in dayton? why dont you jump a mil flight? its free.. course finding one going to your dest. or around your dest is kinda tricky..

try orbit.com. also try some of your local travel agents.. when I was a soldier I got a discount or 2...
also try priceline.com

southwestern airlines still around, they ALWAYS have good deals...

Try those soldier..

go to the closest AFB and ask for a MAC flight and they will put you on a c-130 for free state side and 10 bucks to a overseas AFB. you might wait 24- 36 hrs...right Archer?

normally a 24 wait. you tell them where you are going, they can check to make sure there is a flight from one place to another to your final dest. Might take you a day longer to get to your dest. but beats spending several hundred. I took a couple jump flights.. not first class.. and the meals sucked.. (bring your own because there isnt any) but totally worth it if you dont want to spend a boat load.. many military dont know about the jumps, but it is avail.
