FYI - Airfare PSA

I thought I would share this site with you ladies - not sure if you have heard about it before but they have discount flights for military
MilitaryFares.com

Also - I want to add that Delta is amazing, I was checking prices and called them and they quoted me $700+ for a ticket for FI to get home this weekend, I asked if they offer military discounts in which they transfered me to their 'military line' and I was able to get a ticket for FI for $333, round trip - last minute. I'm really amazed with their customer service and understanding, not to mention they even offered to 'hold' the ticket so FI doesn't have to pay for it until he gets to the airport. So - If you ever need a last minute flight I highly recommend calling Delta directly and asking.

  • Wow that's great. Our honeymoon flights got changed and were now getting back on the 11th instead of 10th so were missing our first day of summer classes
  • Katelyn: are you flying continental or United? A lot of their flights have been changing around due to the merger. That sucks but hey its an extra day in Hawaii!
  • Thats great to know.  We are planning a trip to NOLA in Oct and the prices have been going up and up!

    Continental. And yeah extra time :) I'm just gonna word the email to the professor carefully so I don't come off like I got married and I'm gonna miss the first day because of my honeymoon. I'm gonna ask if I'll miss too much on the first day and if I should just take it in the fall. The class is 2 hours everyday for a month so I don't know how much they'll do the first day
  • I wish H would ask for this more. He doesn't think he deserves it, or should get special treatment. But since I'm the vacation planner and have no problems asking I'll keep it in mind. :)

  • katelyn: most of the time there's nothing going on during.the first day of.the semester anyway. I think you'll be fine. Just make sure they don't drop you. ;) Shan: start asking for it! It doesn't hurt to try especially if you'll save hundreds of dollars. They ask if you're using it for leisure or travelling on orders. Military dependents can use it even without the SM. I think our biggest discount was when Brandon flew from Tokyo to Vegas for our wedding. It was one way so it normally very expensive like 1200-1500, but the Delta military desk gave it to us for only about $700!! So that was a huge savings!
  • Katelyn- make sure everything is okay with not going the first day. At my school, if we missed the first class, without it being exuded before hand, we failed it.

    Yeah because it's only a month long and 2 hours everyday I wanna make sure I don't miss too much. I'm gonna try to figure out who the teacher is (can't register for the class til March) or email the department head before I even register. If not I can always take it in the fall
  • I love Delta and didn't know about this! Thanks! The last few flights I've taken were on American and I have nothing good to say about them.

  • Katelyn: I overlooked the part where you said its only a month long. I would worry a bit over that too. And I know some classes drop you if you aren't there the first day. If you want, you can call Continental and demand a flight for the original date. Tell them you must fly that day and cannot afford an extra night in Hawaii. I'm sure they have flights everyday.

    Yes to this and another piece of advise is to get it in writing through e-mail with date and time stamped.  That is always what I do.  Trust me professors forget. 
  • I think I'm just gonna take this class in the fall. I was talking to FI and his adviser said his major has a limit of 8 credits. Right now I want to take 9 so if there's a limit I can only take 2. I'm just gonna take 2 online classes
