Cheapest way to buy American Airlines flights?

stormCat99

Hi,

We're flying one way from Miami to Raleigh Durham, and using the links on MSE I know that the only airline to do this route direclty is American Airlines.

I've looked everywhere for discount codes but the only one I found was for transatlantic flights. I've searched on loads of flight comparison sites, and the cheapest is actually booking directly on the AA site.

Don't suppose anyone knows of a cheaper way to get the flights?

Thanks.

Airlines are generally always the cheapest. You can try Orbitz.

Sometimes returns are cheaper than one way

Thanks both for the suggestions - already tried Orbitz unfortunately and they weren't the cheapest (although not far off).

Funnily enough it occurred to me today whether a return would be cheaper than a single. I've not checked again on the all the comparison sites (I looked at loads of different ones), but I checked this afternoon on the AA site and it was quite a lot more for a return.

Never mind, worth a try. Looks like I'm best off just booking directly on the AA site.

Thanks again.

Are you getting about £65 o/w inc. tax? It's not too horrific, doesn't seem to be any low cost airlines on the route.

Or from $66 o/w - my favourite way of travelling in the states! http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/HomePage

Thanks for the suggestion. We'd be happy to fly from Fort Lauderdale but we gave that idea up a couple of days ago as everywhere we looked it was way more expensive (not sure why).

Where do you get the £65 price from? :eek: That is better than what I have found. Most places the flight is from £78 to £90+, the cheapest (direct from AA site) is £73. If I could get for £65 I'd definitely book.

Not so sure about the train option - we will have a lot of luggage so would be a lot of hassle. Thanks for suggesting it though.
