Im planning on going to north carolina(greensboro) from new jersey(newark) in october to visit some old friends from school. When is the best time to order tickets? Last month they were around $212, but I just checked now and its around $179. I've never bought airline tickets, hell i've only been on a plane 3 times. How early should I buy? :confused:
I have always thought the earliest you buy the cheaper it gets, have you tried different airlines? and how about trying to schedule the flight on weekdays/weekends....
Or you can spend 6 hours driving =)
EDIT
Oh yea, forgot to mention this:
Why in gods name would you wish to come to NC willingly? I should probably check how far greensboro is from where I live ( Apex ) I think they are both in Wake County.
Sounds like a possible reunion to me :lol:Quote:

:D
Do not see how Yall live up there with all those people!
Greensboro a big city area in NC! You need to come down to the country! My neighbors are deer and turkeys (they are very quite)!
:wave:
I would drive, you need your car in NC!
:p
Strangely enough, that isn't always the case, sometimes they do get more expensive, but then may drop if the flight doesn't fill, just so that they aren't empty seat/miles. It's a crap shoot though. Look for specials, fly a regional airline, and not one of the "bigguns" (Like American, Delta, United)....Think Southwest, Jet Blue, or even Frontier.Quote:

I thought it was earliest the best, but continental has dropped their price since a few weeks ago. heh well then i guess now's the time to buy. :)
around here (new york/tri state area) continental seems to be the best option.
You said they were friends from school, where you goto school here? UNC Greensboro?
No I'll be going to the college of new jersey this fall. ( www.tcnj.edu ). We all just graduated high school together up here in jersey :)
Ahh, so are they going to college in UNC Greensboro then =) I myself chose state. Last year of high school coming up though.
Oil prices are set to rise so the earlier the better I should think :)
Ah. Im in winston-salem :D About 30min drive from greesboro ...and im about 5 minutes from Wake campus ...(might pay your gf a visit if you die sometime soon ;) ) jk.
but hmm sheller, why "wouldn't" someone come to NC willingly...? I dunno where Apex is ...but i take it you arent from the triad area :p
Na, my girlfriend is going to wake forest university in winston salem, and my other friend is going to Guilford College in greensboroQuote:

heh. i like this area....all though i'd rather live somewhere in florida due to the nicer weather (err extremely hot weather) :D
dunno if im going to wake or not, probably nc state ......no clue yet :o
What grade you in, I am most likely going to state as well.
i saw UNC while down there once, looks really nice. You both going to be seniors in high school this year?
junior :o
So i've got some time to think about what i want to do :rolleyes:
haha SAT time there big guy, have fun with that :lol:
:( yep.
already took the psat lol it was annoying enough. and this year i get to do the real thing :D - sarcasm smiley.
but next year i get to go to the career center and take college level CS course... Computer Science AB :cool:
either that or take 1 year of CIS.. computer information systems....which covers a broad area of stuff, some programming too.
:afrog:
The PSAT is a joke. It tells you nothing. It told me I'd score 200 points lower than I actually did. heh I took the CS AB without studying haha, we did nothing all year. Woops. Took the java A this year and destroyed it. Don't think i'm going to use my credit for that or calculus though.
i mean if Im taking 4 calculus classes in college I want to make sure I have a good base in calc 1. And hey it also means a little easier time in calc 1 :p :D
actually i think i will use my java credit, my computer science class is scheduled for 8:30....screw that haha :D :lol:
:eek2:
:lol:
*waiting for sheller to rejoin the thread*
I thought sheller was an old guy like mendhak (83) ...so i doubt he is in high school..... to answer your earlier question Steve ;)
oh i just assumed with this he was about our age :eek2:Quote:

ah....maybe he is going on a senior citizen program to get something out of life besides playing golf and mowing his grass? :lol:
:ehh:
states CS department is huge...........that and the fact that my cousin just got into state are the only reasons i'd consider it. Not sure i want to be a programmer anymore though :o Unless i come up with some great idea that i can start a company for and make money off of it....i'd be a desk jockey for some suits. Contract programming doesn't sound very promising or steady.
:sick:
Dude, im like 16 heh
And yes, I am going to be a senior this year.
yeah i know what you mean. Thats why Im majoring in electrical engineering. Its still in the field of technology, but sounds much more stable, and full :) full isn't the word im looking for, but for me electrical engineering sounds much more fun than programming all day every day
What exactly is "Electrical Engineering" ? lol :oQuote:

am I supposed to be coherent in this post or in the next?
justin case, let me post the complete lyrics of chiquitita from ABBA
Chiquitita, tell me what’s wrong
You’re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I’m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I’m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you’ve broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love’s a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you’re oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
