You should try the site I provided.
They have great deals on EVERYTHING. They’re cheaper than those big names most of the time anyway.
Good Luck!
Iowa isnt going to have very many discounted fares from any city. Just not a place many people travel and the market is such that airlines know they can charge a great deal for.
Travel sites dont save you anything. Everyone can claim to have a discount or use the word cheap, but its all just a ploy. You can usually find the best deals directly with the airline itself. Travel sites charge a booking fee. The one listed by the other person is one of those turn key sites you buy in to and market yourself to make a percentage of a profit of your sales, much like Mary Kay or any other recruitment based business. You may have a small savings to other travel sites because they dont pay for advertisint like Expedia or Orbitz does, but you still can not beat what most airlines have. Do your research before booking anything. Pay attention to the fee’s. Price compare before you accept any thing and read the terms and conditions. Many of these websites are scams and ploys. They dont do live ticketing and even though you are quoted a certain fare, by the time they ticket it, the fare has gone up and they charge you the current available fare.
There is a common misconception with air travel. Again, many websites offer big discounts or use the word cheap, but you have to really research and usually, you wont beat what the airlines offer. Sometimes you can find cheaper flights on a travel site when they mix and match airlines, but that gets risky with checking baggage and connections if there is a delay that day.
If you need help finding fares, shoot me an e-mail to let me know your exact cities and travel dates. Im not a travel agent and Im not soliciting services, I just try to help educate the flying public and help them avoid scams and being ripped off. I worked in the airline industry so, travel is my specialty. Again, just be aware flying into Iowa isnt going to have many great deals or discounts or fare sales but I’ll be glad to find you the best deal that is available.
E-mail me at
I will find you the best deals, just make sure you provide me with the dates you are leaving and coming back, and what cities you are flying out of.
If you don’t want to, make sure you go directly to the airlines site, Expedia and Orbitz and other sites and more expensive. Try US Airways, they seem to have the cheapest flights.
Unless you manage to luck out on a discount, last-minute ticket on a site like Site59, your best bet is to shop individual airline sites. They don’t charge a fee like Travelocity or Expedia do. One method you could try is to search Expedia or Travelocity to get an idea of who flies where and what it might cost. If one or two airlines look reasonable, then go to their websites and repeat the searches.
A tip: It may be less expensive to fly from hub to hub, e.g. LA to Chicago or Minneapolis, than to fly to a smaller city such as Des Moines or Cedar Rapids. To get you to those cities, many airlines will fly you first to another hub, then connect you with a flight to your final destination. This will cost you.
