I hate buying airplane tickets…  It just seems SO expensive these days.

I took a minor gamble on our tickets out to CA this summer…  Bought slightly more expensive tickets on a different airline because of a slightly better flight schedule and the chance to get some money back if the price dropped.  (Alaska & JetBlue (and maybe others?) apparently do not charge money to claim money for price drops.)

How do you know if your ticket price drops?  I was tracking on yapta.com.  They sent me an email at 10:50 pm letting me know the price had dropped with instructions on whom to call to ask for a voucher.  5 minutes later, I have a $60 voucher for future travel on JetBlue.

Not bad…  :)
