Checked three times since the Friday posting for below $200 airfare to Puerto Rico from Philly. The "best" price each time was over $500!! I don't know why I bother with this website.

Have you read carefully the Users Guide at the left of this page? Bottom line: If you are not flexible, you'll pay more. If the offer is Tue/Thurs only but you search on Friday you'll not get the sale. And last but not least...do not wait.............sales go poof before you know it........and hard as it may be to believe........AFWD has no control over the Airlines pricing; when they lower the fare or raise it! I have been able to book each fare on this site with few exceptions.........just last week I booked the $99 R/T from LGA to MSP for my co-worker & wife but it did not last long...........

I'll bet you're trying to fly over Christmas or something. I just found Jan 10 departure and Jan 18 return on the route, via Northwest, connecting in Detroit for $165 RT plus taxes. Many people just don't bother reading our user's guide and they're just not that savvy about how airfares work. They think they can get any low fare any day of the year and that's just not so, as we explain over and over and over. But some folks just don't read, or if they do, they don't get it. What can we do?

By the way, check out our Fare of the Day: http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/FareoftheDay/tabid/59/Default.aspx

Proof that this fare did/does exist if you follow our guidelines. In fact, it's even less than we said: $165 RT plus tax!

Dear AFWD: PLEASE STOP posting low,crazy-low, fares...I'm going broke!!!!!!!!
(but...ahhhh...I sure love the deals out of LGA on American...every time I grab a crazy-low fare I get bumped and they PAY me to fly...cha-ching......thanks AFWD & AA............$AVE!!!!!!! $90 bucks R/T to Denver out of LGA, got bumped at DFW on AA, grabbed the next flight in 45 mins. back to LGA with a fat juicy $300 voucher.......)
Just think..I could have paid full-price on one of those OTHER sites.........but wait....there's more............act now and you'll get a cheese straightener with every low fare.....OK, maybe not.......

And..once again..I got bumped on AA, enjoyed a free night at the Hyatt and a trusty $300 voucher..........which came is right handy when I snagged, a sale on this site, (2) R/T tix to JAX out of LGA.............and get this.....total came to $297 from my $300 voucher so I told them just send me a $3 beverage coupon but...I get a $43 residual voucher, any way you do the math they sent me more.....hey, AFWD, I need a OW ticket out of the poor house due to your many sales!
