Finding Airline Tickets Under 100 Dollars

I have always been a sucker for a bargain, so when I found an airline ticket for under 100 dollars, I actually had to brag. It wasn’t an airline tickets anywhere exotic, but nonetheless the price could not be beat. It was a ticket to South Carolina, and it was just in the nick of time. There was a bluegrass festival going on there, and I was desperate to see it. Some very good friends of mine were going to be there playing, and they had told me that I could play along if I showed up. I knew that I would have to find cheap tickets if I was going to make it. After all, I was pretty broke.

There were plenty of cheap airline tickets available that time of year, the winter, but no airline tickets for under 100 dollars. I wasn’t surprised by this fact, but I was determined to find something a little bit cheaper. I had a friend who worked in the airline business, and I asked him to help me out. He was usually pretty hesitant about doing favors, but he was also a big fan of bluegrass so he pulled some strings. Because he was an employee of the airlines, he could easily find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars. It was all just a matter of transferring the ticket to me. It required a little bit of finagling, but he was able to do it.

What surprised me was that sometimes you really can find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars online. When I came back from the trip, I looked around out of curiosity. I looked at all the destinations I had thought about traveling to, and most of them cost at least 200 if not quite a bit more. Nonetheless, I did find an airline ticket for under 100 dollars into Idaho. Although Idaho is only four or five hours drive for me, it still might be worth it for a quick weekend trip. Sometimes, time is worth more than money.
