Sounds like you might have setttled things, but for what it's worth I recently booked a flight from Denver to Washington, DC in late July. I checked all the "discount" sites, all of which were $525+, then found a great deal on American Airlines site for $337. Great price, an airline I prefer, and on my time table. Sometimes working directly with the airline is the best way to go.

Now, to find a hotel for 10 days in D.C., near the metro, in July, that's in a safe neighborhood, that isn't $200+ a night........

Good luck and have a safe trip!

Definitely check different airports for better rates. I flew out of Raleigh NC instead of Greensborough NC and saved over a hundred dollars

Grand Rapids, MI to visit my cousin and aunt.

Thought I was going to say to Vermont, huh? He would KILL me if I just showed up randomly in Vermont.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions!!

I'll try out those different sites.

Awe man, I thought this topic thread said "Fights". I never flown before Madam, I cannot be of service to you.

I'm sure a lot of people did at first.

Yeah I bet
