HELL yeah. Got my Pop and his wife the tickets for $348.00 round-trip, then got myself one for only $80.00 more. (Betting that a bunch of people found out and pushed up the price.) Many thanks.!
(Fingers crossed for the tickets not being cancelled.)
Is there a way to modify the URL to be more specific on which flights of those days? When I change the dates, it only pops up one flight, but ITA shows a few flight options for the same price and I don’t like the one that Delta is defaulting to.
When I copy and past the link, delta’s website gives me a “403 forbidden error code”. anyone else experience this? anyone got tips on how to make the link work?
STILL WORKING FOR DATES IN MAY!!!
Yep, just booked.
