Need Information About Missoula, Montana

We are traveling to Missoula in a couple of weeks for a leisurely vacation. Does anyone have any recommendations for things to see and do in the area?  We enjoy the out of doors and would like to see some of the back country.

Discount Air Travel Available With Fall Sales

I just received notice that some of the air lines are making discount air travel available for the next few days in the form of sales for fall travel.  There is only a small window for purchase of the reduced cost tickets but they are for travel up to the middle of November. 

 

Both United and Air Trans are offering discount airfares for travel this fall.  With prices starting as low as $49.00 from Air Trans and $55 from United you are sure to save on your next purchases of tickets for air travel if you can act quickly.  United announced LA to San Francisco at $55.00 and LA to Chicago at $177.00. These are one way fares that are based on round trip purchases.  There is also a discount air fare available for travel from Denver to Munich for $310.00. Purchaces must be made by the 8th of August so they are not giving much time but now they are able to say that the fares were available.

 

It will take a lot of searching and real quick action to land tickets for discount air travel but it looks like this is the time to start watching for the fall sales. It is impossible for one person to keep up with all the sales so if you find a great sale from one of the airlines let us know right away.

How to Save 50% on Your Next Airfare

 

 

Budget travel is really possible and you can save as much as 50% on your next airline ticket.  All it takes is a little looking around and making comparisons of the various airlines companies you like to fly with.  Always remember that flexibility is the key to getting the best deal and these days we all need to take the time to look for those elusive deals.  Comparing one airline to another can yield big rewards and sometimes just changing your plans by a day or two can get the kind of savings we are talking about.  You may find a great deal by considering an alternate airport or maybe you can change the departure city in order to find the best airfare for your trip.  We are going to give you some ideas that will help you save some real money and maybe even make your trip more convenient for you.

 

We just took a look at the cost of a roundtrip airfare from Phoenix to Minneapolis on the 22nd of August and 29^th of August on United Airlines.

We would leave PHX at 9am and MPLS at 1pm.

 

We found the cost of the flight we wanted to be $506.00 and that was with one stop! No budget travel in that arrangement. By leaving at 6:37am from Phoenix on the 22^nd and at 6:13am from Minneapolis on the 29^th we were able to shave $130.00 off the cost of the trip.  Now we are down to $370.00 for the trip and we only changed the hours of departure.  Next we tried  Travelocity.com and asked them to do the search for us. They were able to find two airlines with fares that came to only $306.00.  If you’ve been looking for budget travel, we are finally getting close to satisfying your needs. 

 

The next change we considered was moving the travel date up to Saturday, the 23 and return on the 30^th. This change brought the price of the airfare down to $278.00.  Now the fare is down to 55% of what we started out at.

 

It is entirely possible that the guy looking for budget travel airfare may not live right in Phoenix or Minneapolis.  There may be travel costs to consider

to get to the larger metropolitan airports and we haven’t looked at the smaller regional airports yet.  Close to Phoenix there is the Williams Gateway Field now named Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport.  Allegiant airline operates out of this airport and flies to such places as Rapid City, South Dakota – Fargo, North Dakota and Duluth, Minnesota.  When we checked with Allegiant air we found that if you wanted to fly on Tuesdays or Thursdays it was possible to secure your airfare for as little as $250.00. It is true that they only fly on a couple of days each week but that may be the kind of flexibility you need to consider if you want to save 55% on the first airfare you are offered by your favorite airline.

 

If you believe in budget travel then take heart.  It is still possible to get some great discounts on airfares.  There are many other ways to find savings on your next airline tickets and we will be exploring some on them in the near future.  Check back with us next week as we explore the best times to fly for the biggest discounts on your tickets.
