Plane Tickets=Outrageous

I'm not sure what military travel sites you were trying but military tickets usually are more expensive. A military ticket is a guaranteed seat no matter what. You cannot be bumped. It is also transferable, easily modified, and refundable without penalty or stipulation. You have to be careful with some of the military deals; not always the cheapest. There are some advantages to military tickets as you can see. Just keep an eye on the prices for your travel days.

You are looking a little far out for discount tickets to show up. Airlines start to get nervous a week or two out and will start dropping the prices so that they don't end up with empty seat miles. Also try the airline direct. I found my cheapest option for my recent travel directly from American not TravelOrbilocity. Hope it helps!

Sorry about your luck, we are hearing the same story for people trying to fly to our upcoming wedding as well and we have a huge airport for people to fly into (LAX).

Try http://www.Kayak.com maybe, they search everyone except Southwest I believe all at the same time. I am pretty sure that Southwest does fly out of Louisville as well, perhaps that is an option.

Rich, I understand what you are saying but I have not been inquiring about military flights, but military discounts, or military personnel rates. If I were flying to go on temporary duty, as I do often, I would expect my unit to pay more, as it would be flexible. I am referring to sites claiming to cater to military members wanting to travel off duty. These are the sites I am referring to that are ripping off military personnel. I understand what you are saying though, and that is an important distinction to make!
