    Casino Giving Away Free Flights.

    Better be all First Class flights because economy class is so bad. First Class is okay. Don't think they serve food in First Class anymore, like they use to be. That's ashamed!! What's better is always a private plane. Not flying in a full flight.

    You forgot to mention the ticket is only one way to Vegas. Looks like they are completely sold out.

    I don't understand some of these people. It seem like when there are a cheap flight people want to book it. For me I go for at least First Class. Other lower class is just too bad!!!

    me - I'm not going to pay a lot more just to be more comfortable for a few hours - no way - it's not in my blood - I'm looking for deals



    personal story - one time I was at the ticket counter of Austrian Airlines at Dulles airport

    a passenger was at the counter screaming:

    "you mean to tell me I paid $10,000 and you can't get me an aisle seat"

    I was like whoa - you could get on the net and get a round trip ticket to Vienna for about $1K or even a little less



    it was like he donated a used car to Austrian Airlines..........

    Its better that you can get deals and fly on First Class. From what you are saying, I can tell you are not rich. I am not rich and I am not poor either. I can afford myself a First Class flight, though. $1300 ten years back was a lot of money to me but with the money I have today $1300 is not that much.

    You have that much, why do you play Blackjack? An addiction? What staked do you play? Black or purple chips?

    Surprising question coming from you. Some people like to play with an edge, whether they need the money or not. I can think of several forum members who fall into this group.

    You think First Class is expensive, look at the airfare for economy in Southwest Airline. To fly from the East Coast to the West Coast cost over $600 round trip and Southwest class are mostly economy. The fares were for June 2020, also. Not paying $600 for economy airfare. I would do it for First Class. Economy class should cost no more than $300 round trip.

    what you are saying is true - but I believe it is not representative of normal times





    I checked the Southwest economy fare to where I sometimes go - it is now up about 65% from what I paid before the virus
    That could mean that travel is picking up. Still, economy airfare shouldn't cost more than $300 round trip from the east coast to the west coast or opposite.

    Airline news on flight increase:
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/airlines-...184418431.html

    I am not playing games with these people & I am not becoming the statistic of the second wave of COVID-19. In order for me to travel again to these place. I would need take protected measures like wearing Personal Protective Equipment, not only a face mask in public. That would increase face shields, face mask, medical gowns, and hand gloves. I am not against quarantine when it comes to life or death. They should required social distancing in flight, too. Social distancing in waiting areas are not enough.

    yea basically they know that almost every flying now HAS to fly so if they try and sell tickets dirt cheap they still won't sell most of them

    the fares I checked were actually up a little more than 200%
    But if you book it right, SWA has flights for $49 each way on some legs. I don't think they have gone up 200% BUT the lack of capacity is definitely a factor. Last month from my airport to Vegas no longer any non-stop flights on SWA. But this month they have added 1 back. Increased it just a bit.
