flying out of Denver thru Spirit airlines. $240ish total for wife and I going to Mesa airport. Used coupon code 24OFF and got $48 off($24 per person)

be careful not to take any luggage, go to the bathroom or breathe on the flight so you don't incur extra fees

jmp408 · « **Reply #51 on:** December 04, 2012, 04:08:59 PM »

yeah the extra fees sucked but it was still the cheapest option. we just did a checked bag for $30 for both of us. Hopefully we don't lose the luggage(the tics will not be in them!!)

Don't carry anything on either. Sounds terrible and Southwest from DEN to PHX wasn't that much more when I booked at least (80 or so more). Good luck. Let me know how bad Spirit is.

jmp408 · « **Reply #53 on:** December 04, 2012, 04:36:14 PM »

yeah carry on is $5 more than a checked bag freaking rediculous. I would of flown a different airline just on principle but we're already out $150 from the Miami booking(saving that flight change for another trip)

Frontier was around $330, but $375 for me to transfer my FLL Classic level ticket w/ bags. Flying NYE-Friday from DEN. Some EMAWs are going to be staying at the Hampton Inn Phoenix/Tempe near ASU.

Flights are too pricey. Driving down from Wichita on Tuesday. Staying in the bar district in Scottsdale (Camelback and 7th) for about $170/night. Got 6 of us so not to bad splitting gas/hotel.

That a good deal? Seems pretty average to below average priced.

Testy Westy · « **Reply #59 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:57:42 PM »

For a non-stop flight that arrives the day before and leaves the day after and isn't $600+ I'd say it's a pretty good deal

Plus you have those big guitars in your airport

KCI has it advantages...I hardly ever pay $350 to go anywhere... definitely will be improved with the new terminal.

Single peeps, hit me up. You're all sick of #fanningbrags which I totally get, but so far this trip is free(paid for). If anyone needs a free place to stay, I can accommodate based off liked poster status.

I seriously want to help peeps. PM. Me.

Since we are driving, we are thinking of tailgaiting. Any of you know what side EMAWers are on? Looks like I can get a pass to either the Orange lLt (West Side) or Gray Lot (NE side).

I don't think people are sick of #fanningbrags®. That said, we've already got a fairly large group of people staying in Scottsdale.

When Baylor scored to make 45-24 I looked and you couldn't do less than $350 for Wed - Fri from KC, STL, OMA on SW. The Fiesta is just bad one to fly to due to only 1 close airport. It is the worst of all the BCS bowls and I am glad we are ditching it for the Sugar and hope we get a deal with the Orange or elevate the Cotton for a second BCS tie in.

FLY OUT OF GRAND ISLAND NE!!! Reply

Just booked a one way from Grand Island NE to Mesa for 99$ via Allegiant. After all the add ons it came to 124$ which included my 24 hr cacelation. Return flight on Expedia for 191$ after all my add ons which also included the 24 hr cancelation. 315$ total. Right now I'm going by myself but should change tomarrow when my two buddies join. Anyone looking for cheaper flights need to look at this setup!

Hope this helps, cause I want to see 45 thousand strong in Phoenix Jan 3rd!!!

US Air has 40k RT availability out of Omaha flying out the 2nd and back the 4th, 5th or 6th. Not great but it's something, and they are direct flights for anyone living near here. 50k availability in 1st class but it's a CRJ 900 so first is super pud (though nice if hung over on the ride home). There are coach seats for many different date combinations (some direct) for about $500 RT as well.

They have 40k RT availability out of KC as well but you have to fly out the morning of the game and back the 6th. Will arrive in Phoenix at 7:51 AM though. There's 50k award availability on that same early arriving flight and back the 5th or 6th.

EDIT: actually, there is one 40k RT award left flying out the 2nd at 9PM from KC and back on the 6th. didn't show up initially because I was searching for 2 people. so, if you have 40k US Air you want to blow and are flying solo out of KC that may be a good option.
