Where can I find the cheapest airfare from Chicago to Trinity Test site in New Mexico?

Jan 30, 2011 8:10 PM

I am taking a tour of the Trinity Test site near Socorro, New Mexico, on April 2nd. I need to get there from Chicago, and I think I, as well as my group, are going to fly. There may be about 7 of us. We were looking at flying into El Paso, or Albuquerque, though other options are acceptable. We are going to get a rental car once there. Is Kayak, Expedia, etc, the best choice, or are there better places to get deals?

Thank you,

I think any of the large internet travel agents, Travelocity, Expedia, etc are good to compare the major airlines but also check Southwest Airlines, www.southwest.com. They do not list on the online travel agencies and their fares are usually good to excellent. They do not charge for 2 pieces of checked luggage which can make a big difference in total cost. And, in most cases, if you have to change your flights they do not charge a change fee, just any difference in fare.

Your price will also depend on when you want to fly out and when you want to return. Midweek flights are normally cheaper.

From that information, Southwest is looking the cheapest at $119 each way. we are leaving on Wednesday and returning on Monday.

You could also go to tripadvisor.com and search for airfare, They search several sites at once as does kayak, mobissimo, etc. Does it matter which Chicago airport?

No, it does not matter. All that really matters is that we arrive before on or before the 1st of April. We are students, if that helps at all. I looked at studentuniverse.com, and found fare almost as cheap as Southwest.

Yeah, your best bet around that area is Southwest airlines.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
