exactly.. if you have a place to stay, it doesn't matter... but why would you spend for a hotel because you got a deal on the plane.. mornings are packed.... thats why its always cheaper to arrive here late and leave here early.

That may be true, but I have flown this flight many times, most times actually, and it has ALWAYS been full. Spirit only offered that flight. This time they did have two going out, but I hadn't seen that in a while. Something tells me they will go back to only having one flight. Guys in front of me had just booked their flight a couple hours before. They paid $300 one way! But, one of them had just hit for $300K on pai gow/kow (whatever it is) earlier at one of the Detroit casinos! That was good! Go spend it all in Vegas, baby! They said they come here at least once a month. They were staying at Aria. Comped, of course.

I always get nervous, even a bit scared, flying in a plane with so few passengers, never have been able to figure out why. I like a plane that is about 80-90% full. As long as there's some empty seats.

That way, if I'm hemmed in in a middle seat, I can always find a way of getting more space.

Poke the big lady next to me who should be paying for two seats, and?

"I'm so grateful to my parole officer for allowing me to fly back home to visit my parents. Imagine! I spent 30 years in prison for killing three people, the parole board shaved off 20 years of my sentence, how lucky can I be!!! Would you like to hear the details of those murders?"

And just like a missile, this woman has flagged down a stewardess, looking for a seat elsewhere!

Of course, if I had had aisle seat, there's a woman with her daughter next to me, I could always tell her I was registered sex offender. That would do the trick as well, except I'd then have three seats to myself!

Flying on an empty plane makes you wonder if half the passengers had a premonition about it crashing and decided to take a different flight.

Every flight I look at seems to be about $400 R/T. Any other time I've flown to LV, I've paid $200 R/T. I'm just not going to pay $400 to fly to LV and back home.

Like those movies about the kid who sees a premonition of the plane with he and all his friends crashing. They made two sequels to this movie, or was it three sequels.

Of coourse, they stay off the plane, continue living, then all of them get killed, one by one, in mysterious inexplicable accidents.

First one ta name the first movie gets an all-expense paid trip to NYC ta see the Knicks beat the Celtics in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. Let's get those playoffs started!

You need to keep checking and book during a sale. My parents were just here this past week and their tickets were $229.40/pp for non-stop r/t flights from Miami on AA. But I booked them awhile ago during a 48 or 72-hour online sale.
