Jody Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have never tried to book tickets to fly before. I am looking to fly from Minneapolis to Las Vegas. I looked at travelocity and Delta. All the prices I find are atleast $600 and up per person. I was picked to get the free Nascar tickets. I can not spend $1200 in airfare. Plus car rental and the other expenses. Unless I can get a lower airfare this is going to be way above my budget. If I can not find lower airfare yet today, someone else can have my tickets if Sharon allows. Any help in finding flights at a lower cost would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Doug_GT350 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 That's a shame, we booked our trip in October and got 6 days 5 nights at the Riv along with a car and airfare for two for under a grand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenrock Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 We ended up at $980.00 flight, $577.00 for the room at the HGV Club on the strip. Leaving Fort Wayne 2/24 returning 3/2. Looking forward to it! That's a shame, we booked our trip in October and got 6 days 5 nights at the Riv along with a car and airfare for two for under a grand!

dukenrock Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thinking I should rent a car while I'm there too. Good idea or no?? By the time I add up the cab fees from the airport and hotel to track, I might be better off renting a car. $168/week for the car rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_GT350 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 All depends on what you want to do while you're there. I understand public transportation is good. The hotel may even have shuttles to everything, including the track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel may even have shuttles to everything, including the track! shuttles will be packed for the race weekend and cabs are very expensive, if you can get a rental for $168 a week, jump all over it......you will save big in the long run and have the feedom to go around as you please. Plus makes a sight seeing trip to the dam or other locations another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenrock Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I think that would be a good call too. These free tickets are costing me a good down payment on a bigger SC!!! shuttles will be packed for the race weekend and cabs are very expensive, if you can get a rental for $168 a week, jump all over it......you will save big in the long run and have the feedom to go around as you please.

dukenrock Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I got the $168.oo price by using my Am Ex card. they discounted the rate if I used that card. It's an egg beater but I'll take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
