low airfare from new york---december

just booked a non-stop round trip to vegas from jfk on american-----dec 5 to 10-------$217------basic economy which includes a carry-on and picking a seat

have 4 nites comp at mss and 2 nites comp at downtown grand

unable to get any rental car deals so i am set up to get a u-haul van for $19.95 a day plus 59 cents a mile plus taxes from a u-haul location on fremont street about 1 1/2 miles from the el cortez-----plan to take a taxi to and fro-------plan to use local maybe put in 100 miles -----should come out under $200 for 5 days

 

Be careful with the uhaul - company is catching on and they may require a lease agreement or home sale, etc. to justify renting to you. Seeing lots of people get their rental canceled at the last second due to that.

 

i called the u-haul central location and told them rental car prices were high and would be using the van to drive around vegas when i made the arrangements
question i have is what difference does it make to them as to the reason for the rental
would be interested in hearing from anyone who has gone this route

at worst i will just stay downtown the entire trip and take the cx bus to and from the airport

 

Just make up your own lease agreement, here is a 9 page form, just print it out and fill it in. https://eforms.com/download/2015/11/nevada-association-of-realtors-residential-lease-agreement.pdf

That is a nice RT fare, but will you be driving up from the Philly area?

 

got the fare for a friend who will join me-----i wil lfly from philly-----booked my flight a month ago
new york prices are lower than philly at this time and usually are

 

Nice!

I haven't checked flights out of Philly since March, 2020, but sometimes when I would use that matrix airfare search website, I could check nearby airports. Agreed, usually LaGuardia and JFK were cheaper than PHL.

Last time I flew from Newark was either Air Florida or Peoples Express in the 1980's, lol. Peoples Express would run your credit card in the aisle using one of those manual imprint machines and 4 carbon copies.

Good Luck on your trip and maybe by then the rental car situation will have been sorted out.

 

Good deal.
AA basic economy doesn't let you pick an assigned seat unless you pay extra for it?
Was the booking through a 2nd party booking site?

 

the basic economy included picking an assigned seat as well as a carry-on which i felt was a good deal
booked directly with the airline

 

I just rebooked our Dec trip on SW from PHL for $201 RT.
