Any recommendations please?
I suggest Southwest and Jet Blue. Both are discount carriers, and there service is somewhat limited in terms of the cities they service, but SW gives you 2 checked bags for free, I think Jet Blue also allows free bags. Depending on where ya go, you can save $100.
Southwest generally has the cheapest flights by at least a hundred bucks.
If they don't fly where you need to go, go with whoever is cheapest.
Cheapest = best. Unless you plan on accumulating miles on any alliance airline. Oh and don't fly on a DC-9.

so can we carry on shaving cream, razor, and toothpaste now? i havent flown in a while =(
Only if you book really far in advance though.
I'd go with United. Dunno why, I think they've just screwed me over the least out of the three.

Personal experience (purely anecdotal):Don't fly United. I've had a few bad experiences, including flight cancellation and gum on the seats (yes, I ended up sitting on gum). Delta and Continental are decent though, with Delta probably being my favorite
I wouldn't base your decision on a few random reviews. I'd most definitely choose the cheapest option, because in the end, you're going to sit uncomfortably on a crappy seat regardless of the airline.
Oh, and the DC-9 is an incredibly safe airplane.

Agree with advice
The DC-9 has great past performance. It does not predict future results. There is a reason why airlines don't fly them anymore. The only carrier still using them is NWA, who is aggressively phasing them out. NWA's DC-9 equipment is extremely old, average age 35 years. Yes, maintenance keeps them flying, but the aluminum fuselage can only handle so many pressure cycles. Some legacy pilots refuse to fly them. My vote is no.
I ended up buying Delta tickets which was $235 + tax CDN
Continental was $330 + tax
Oh man.. anyone with GOOD delta experience?
It would suck really bad if I miss my interview because of flight delay
teleportation
I hear bad things about people phasing into buildings. I recommend Jet Blue.
im bumping up this thread since its just what i was going to ask for my interview! sooo i gotta hurry up in booking my flight since i am at the one month towards my trip and i was originally thinking of enrolling in the mileage thing and just book united for everytime i travel, buttt i just checked and virgin america offers the cheapest flight by $100 and everything else just keeps getting more and more expensive.. i am willing to spend a little more just for the peace of mind (i have never been to east coast and thats where ill be going!) sooo any advice? i only saw virgin america mentioned once, anyone had any bad experience with them? also does the mileage thing compensate for the difference in price at the end? thanks in advance =)
where do you have interview at, if I may ask?
I'm a huge nerd and as such, a big Google fan but Microsoft's Bing search engine has landed me some pretty outrageous deals. Go to Bing.com and click on the 'Travel' link. Southwest usually wins by a few dollars, but if you're flying somewhere that's a ways from the closest Southwest hub it's a good bet.
Boston and Virginia but i think for virginia united is the cheapest and they are all around the same price..
how about you?
I booked case western and CCLMC through Delta (a bit worried because of Delta's bad rep)
I'm thinking flying to Boston through Continental it's only $210 which is cheaper than Southwest or Jet Blue.
really?!! continental was more than $400 for me! r u going from cali? or it might be b/c your date is more than a month away..
