Cheap flights to New Orleans!

Greetings everyone! Here again to show you another segment of finding cheap flights for your destination. This time it's New Orleans! Famous for its mardi gras! Now lets get those party outfits and color beads and fly!

New Orleans Tips:
Mardi Gras and festivals (Feb-May) HIGH season
Summer Festivals (June-Aug) LOW season
Food, Voodoo and other festivals (Sept-Nov) SHOULDER(IN BETWEEN) season
Sources: BestNewOrleansHotel & Travel.USnews

We FORSURE CANNOT go to New Orleans without experiencing a Mardi Gras if you haven't already. For the first timers here you go. But for the not-so-first-timers then I'll have an updated version for you later on.

Situation: Jackson-Hole,Wyoming(randomize) to New Orleans from Mar 22nd-29th 2016

1. Jetcost








USD= $315.06

2. JetRadar









3. Liligo







4. Skiplagged






5. Google Flights









As you see here again the same websites that were used in my previous posts. Now here's a little quick trick on foreign prices some will have conversion rates that will get you cheaper than USD. Upon further research some airlines and your bank will charge foreign transaction fee but don't worry it shouldn't that much of a difference and still remain cheaper than their US counterparts. I just happen to stumble on JETCOST pricing at euros. But i'll have another segment explain foreign transaction fees. 

Another reason to consider and why I choose Wyoming are the assumptions on if you live farther that should correlate to an expensive airfare versus a neighboring state to your destination. I originally choose Seattle,Washington which has the greatest distance between New Orleans than Wyoming and to my discovery is that the prices were so much cheaper! So clear that speculation of wherever you are living. Cheap tickets can go either way and all depends on the airline and economic factors but that's a whole different subject. 

But just take this as an advice and my priorities are to show you that anywhere you live in the US there are always a way to find cheaper tickets. And again to keep our piggy banks happy and more money for our enjoyment. 

Thank you for reading! Hope this helps you and your future travels and I will be back with some information guidelines and tips of what I do to find these prices. Stay tuned!

Cheap flights to Texas!

Howdy yall! Welcome back to my next blog post I apologize since this took me a while write another cheap flight edition. I'm currently at school so things get a little hectic with the workload. So moving forward I want to help you find inexpensive tickets and get your booty out on a 1 week vacation. 

With vast fields and immense landscapes we can definitely see why everything is bigger in Texas. But we for sure one that we don't want bigger is a fat pricey plane ticket. 

Texas tips:
Shoulder season- Mar to May or Sept to Nov according to LonelyPlanet best time when the weather isn't turning into an oven.

Situation: Sacramento, CA(Randomize) To Houston, Texas Date: March 22nd to 29th

2. Google Flights

Alrighty! These are the results and you might have notice that these flight search engines are from previous posts. Well after searching and researching countless websites it eventually narrowed down to these trusty five finger sites. I also figured that these sites will be consistent throughout flights in the United States. Just showing you raw conclusions for those are selective on specific dates. 

Also developing my rule of thumb when it comes to buying tickets at a desired date start looking for tickets a month before you plan your flight. For example you may want to fly in May so start searching in April or flying out in December then search in November. My reasoning is you might have the chance to find cheaper tickets and deals better than the ones you looked for 5 months in advance. Airlines are always fluctuating so timing is key. But there are some factors where may not apply such as the nature of the State which is why it helps me to look for tips and advice in advance for that particular State. 

FOR THOSE who are FLEXIBLE or just plainly love cheap deals Cheapflights posts cheaper tickets depending on where you are and how flexible your date is. Definitely give them a shot. 

I'll be testing and working on my own theories on cheaper flights so stay tuned!

Next post... Don't get too drunk or you'll miss the Mardi Gras!
