Personally, priceline has offered me the very best deals for travel.

Living in Bellingham and travelling to New York a couple of times a year, I HAD been taking a bus down to Seatac, believing that was the most cost effective way to travel.

Surprise! WRONG! If you’re planning a trip – check out flights out of Bellingham FIRST! Air travel out of BLI is actually very competitive with taking the shuttle bus to Seatac.

I recently made reservations, round trip from Bellingham to Kennedy for about $300. Utilizing Priceline, was fast and easy. It didn’t require me making multiple reservations.

Having the experience of doing my own price comparisons of the various airlines, because there’s nothing better than getting the best deal going (in my book), I now know that all the time that I wasted trying to save money could’ve been used making a whole lot more money.

I no longer attempt to do a cost analysis, price comparisons, and attempting to be diverted around the country to save money – Now, I simply go to Priceline and get ‘er done in a few minutes and spend the rest of my time on the phone making plans with my grandson on what we’re going to do once I get there!

You really have to check out priceline first.  Even if you want to compare prices, check priceline, because in my book, they are the ones to beat.

My Airline Opinion

Personally, I love Jet Blue.  I have enjoyed every flight that I’ve ever been on, even though I heard all the horror stories about being stuck on the tarmac for hours at a time, I just can’t imagine that my Jet Blue would ever be in that position.

On the other hand, I’d heard such wonderful things about VirginAmerica that I paid extra to fly Virgin America instead of Southwest.  Not only did I pay more money to fly VirginAmerica, Southwest Airlines flies out of Mac Arthur Airport, which is 20 minutes away from my family, whereas Virgin America was out at Kennedy Airport.

I thought I was going to be pampered and comfortable.  I knew that it would be better than Jet Blue, look at the reputation that VirginAmerica has, right?  Virgin America was the most humiliating experience that I’ve had traveling.

Being a voluptuous 300 pounds, I asked the attendant when I boarded for a a seat belt extension.  I used to be embarrassed to have to ask for one,  and I thought that I had gotten over that a few years ago.  I’d simply make a request as I boarded and the attendants have always been considerate and handed it to me with no fanfare.   The attendant actually started to argue with me that I wouldn’t need one.   Avoiding a scene, I asked that they’d simply humor me.  So, here’s the good news, the attendant was right, I didn’t need one!  Finally, an argument that was able to handle quietly, and one I would have loved to have had to lose!
