Ok what would you guys do?
What if you could get your tickets for almost $100 cheaper BUT you have no control over flight times? We are flying out on 8-1 and are TOTALLY flexible but on Sunday we really don't want to miss out on the last day of Celebration. We are all tight on money so the idea of saving $100 is great but just hesitant. They don't give you your flight information until AFTER you pay and it's non-refundable. It is $100 cheaper PER PERSON. $139 flights for $38.95....

I'd take the deal $100 per person is a lot- it's not like 20 bucks- You know!

The only thing to consider is missing the tour of the R&D Center. If you didn't get to go at Leadership....it is awesome!!!

We travel quite a bit and have a pilot as a neighbor, so receive some good insider tips. Just a few thoughts that may help you decide....
Have you looked into purchasing a one way ticket to get there, at a $50 savings and book your flight for one way on the trip home, so you receive a scheduled time?
Another thought is, there are going to be a lot of people in Dallas with BC and other conventions, if you are looking at stand by, then you may have to wait longer than you might think.
Even with a scheduled ticket,since you are flexible on the arrival date, you could arrive early for your flight and put your names in forgiving your ticket if it is a full flightand going on the next flight, so you can get a voucher that you could use on the next function - larger than a $100 savings! We do this a lot on connecting flights that are under two hours in duration, as they run more often, usually enough time to get a bite to eat and take off! Just because you put your name in, does not mean that you have to accept the offer - but puts the decision in your hands! I would suggest doing this on all flights, since the airlines are running less flights and overbooking for economic reasons.
Good luck!
