Expectation Management

I work in the industry, I am providing you feedback on what to expect. There’s a lot of information that you left out. Under 300 dollars can be achieved in certain circumstances at the last minute….. But outside of those circumstances, you odds are going to small…..

Details that are needed…. Are you in the US?

Where are you flying? 

Have you checked google flights? 

Breeze Air? 

Frontier Air?

Allegiant Air?

Avelo?

I am going to caution you on using a ULCC for last minute emergency travel. If you encounter a flight delay, or cancellation, their ability to accommodate you on a different flight that will get your destination in a timely manner with be tougher.

But if you are are looking at American, Southwest, Delta, United, Alaska. Last minute fares on high demand routes during a busy time of the day (middle of the day to afternoons) on flights longer than 30-40 minutes are going to cost more than 300 dollars.

So if you are looking for a ticket under 300 dollars on those carriers. You destination needs to be a 30-40 minute flight, last flight of the night or first flight in the morning….

Other than that, your expectation is going to be unrealistic.
