How do I find a super cheap flight?
I'm trying to get from Salt Lake City, Utah to Charlotte, South Carolina. I would want to leave about the 30th of July and return about the 4th of August. How can I find flights that are affordable, preferably under $400 round trip? I'm looking at flying out of Las Vegas, are there any other cities I should look into that are near by? Oops. I meant Charleston, South Carolina. But Charlotte, NC works too. :)

1. Priceline Name Your Own Price. 2. I generally tell people to not buy from 3rd party sites as they are the same price, and sometimes even more (exception is #1) 3. Buy middle of the week 4. Buy midnight 5. BUY NOW 6. Sign up for email alerts from the airlines. Since Salt Lake CIty is a Delta hub, check with them. Charlotte is a US Airways hub, so check with them also. Edit: No, don't fly out of Charlotte...that's wayyy to far. I see the only option is to fly direct to Charleston

SLC and LAS aren't real close together. Charlotte and Charleston aren't, either. If either of those is OK, then what about RDU or ATL?

I would see if Southwest has anything to Charlotte or Raleigh. Another airport to see about flying out of is Denver. However know that flying during the summer months is really expensive. Also you want to buy quickly as waiting will only mean higher airfare.

One website that seems to have great prices is vayama.com. I put your info into their search and came up with prices around $575... I know it's a little higher than you'd like but when I've compared prices with different sites this one has always impressed me. Good luck!

There's no website that will ALWAYS be the "cheapest". That's why you have to shop around. Try to be flexible on your dates and times. If you can drive a short distance to a "less" busy airport, that might help save some money. Try to book your flight early am or late pm, that can sometimes save money. Weekdays are usually cheaper than weekends. Don't limit your search to only the "well-known" travel sites, most are owned by the same company -which mean not much difference in the price. So,be sure to check other travel sites otherwise you might miss out on a great deal. Think of these travel sites like grocery stores, they all "sell" the same thing. So, why pay more for the same flight those other guys are selling? Try this travel site; www.everydaytravelconnections.com Hope this helps!
