What do residents do about parking at KOA, or do you get chauffeured both ways?

Usually someone wants to go to Cost Co so they drop us off. But we have gotten a rental car with no drop off fee at Koa. $52 last time - so about same as 1 week parking...

As for tix prices, everyone does realize that there is a seasonal increase about first week in June to first week in Sept every year even before Aloha/ATA/Skybus/Frontier failures?

I have used yapta.com and found it helpful. You have to look up the exact flights you want and put then on your menu on the site. (You can put in multiple flight pairings to cover a wide range of possibilities. Unfortunately, I don't think you can just put in city pairs and dates like on Travelocity or Orbitz. It must be exact flight numbers on specific airlines.) The site then automatically monitors the fares for those flights and sends an email when they change. (Or you can choose to log on and look at the current fare.) I find it more useful to monitor prices before buying and then buy when I think it is a really good price. The reason for that is the fact that in most cases, the airlines will charge a change fee that eats up a lot or all of the savings of the fare decrease. Of course this requires doing research and knowing when a fare is really good. Also, if you wait too long, you can end up paying more.

Cheers,
Jerry

Jerry -

I have sent this off to my friend who created Yapta.... I'm sure it will tickle his funny bone.

The guy that created this... his name is Brett Allsop, former founder of Fogdog Sports. His parents actually own the Allsop ski line out of the town I'm from.

Smart, talented, Stanford kid... that still to this day... works hard for his money.

He had millions at the age of 22...and gave it up to start other ventures and is still doing well.

Just pulled up an article (The Top 50 Resources for Getting a Cheap Flight) website is travelhacker.com[]

hikatz, when I went to this site, the URL resolved to travelhacker.net, and there was precious little content there. I searched for "Top 50 Resources", and nothing came up.
