Which airlines run the best deals?

Mar 5, 2011 9:22 AM

I've been thinking of flying to Florida some time this year and was wondering which airlines put out the best deals. I usually use Southwest but what about the others? I'm flying from the mid-Atlantic area but feel free to post any airlines that have deals nationwide, to help Wooters across the country. Thanks in advance!

To where in Florida? It's a big state and depending on where you want to go, sometimes it's much less hassle to drive.

Given the recent upsurge in fuel costs, I'm not sure that any past history of good deals will be much of a predictor for future deals, alas.

In general I find that Southwest has the best prices and most favorable policies on things like rebooking and baggage fees. I'm a little leery of traveling Southwest with the family, though. My wife hates to fly and I have three kids who I don't trust to sit on their own. I'd probably spend the extra ten bucks to get priority boarding...

If you're looking for a deal on flights to Orlando, allow me to suggest you fly to Tampa instead and drive - it's only about an hour and a half. You'll have better luck finding deals on flights to Tampa.

If you don't mind sifting through a lot of email, I sign up for flight alerts from Travelocity, Expedia and Virgin. Any time they have a price reduction on a flight that I'm considering I get an email.

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.
