<p>Hello guys,
I would like to fly from NYC to Chicago once a month on the weekend and I searched online and found out that most of the flights are around 180-200 dollars (round trip) if not more expensive! I remember one friend of mine saying that you can get tickets for 50$ if you buy it last minute and even wait in the airport to get the best price.
Does anyone know better?;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I paid 140 for mine from Georgia, and later on AirTran had a special for 70 dollar tickets. When should we buy tickets?</p>
<p>70 dollar round trip? cause if that price is for one way it comes to the same amount like the ones i found at us airways delta or AA.</p>
<p>There is always the bus, although the NY-Chicago distance may be hardcore.</p>
<p>19 hrs;) i prefer paying more and flying....</p>
<p>I often fly home to Chicago out of Long Island/Islip. </p>
<p>Getting there can be a bit of a pain in the a** the first tim or so, until you figure it out, but Southwest tickets are often $39 one-way. You can't beat it. And the LIRR is cheaper than a cab to Laguardia.</p>
<p>The St. Louis-Chicago ride is only 5hrs or so by bus and the prices are unbeatable.</p>
<p>thanks chicago jen
how did we come to st louis?</p>
<p>just random. sorry lol</p>
<p>San Francisco <-> New York round trip is around 200 dollars...</p>
<p>but 200 from Chicago?</p>
<p>dang, that's so expensive</p>
