I need to find cheap flights from NOLA or BTR to San Diego. My daughter is willing to come with me but she wants to bring a friend to be with while I'm in surgery and in the hospital. The cheapest I can find for myself are over $300 round trip which isn't bad. Had i booked this last week I could have gotten flights for a little more than $200..... HELP!

i ran into the same thing...i went to priceline.com and named my own price...the tickets were going to run me 630 a piece...that was insane...so anyhow i put a bid in to NAME MY OWN PRICE of 360 and it denied it. so i put in 380...denied again but then it spit up a page that offererd other options. some woould not work...such as my surgery is may 9th and wont be discharged til may 12th..they offered me to fly back on may 11th for 220...wouldnt work...so then they offered me 330 after taxes and everything if i flew out on the 7th...so i weighed my options and it was cheaper to go that route and get a hotel for the two days before my surgery.. so instead of paying almost 1300 for mine and hubbys tickets we are paying 860 and get a mini vaca in a very nice resort. hope this helps

Hi Kerry, did Priceline give you the option of nonstop on the name your own price? I don't want layovers especially back home, but price is almost double.

Most airlines publish new fares on Wed morning after midnight and that is also the best day to search too. ie: don't do actual searches on Fri-Sun regardless of your itenerary. In addition, the cheapest days to fly in/out are on Tue and Wed. Also, look at kayak.com for multiple quotes, and I always search Southwest and Jet Blue directly from their sites.

Those are all my secrets...I usually fly twice a week, going on 11 years now and I play thier game. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
