Typically the lowest price tickets are non-refundable anyways so nothing is lost by using the non-refundable fly confirmed for even less option.

Stay away from the "refundable" fly confirmed for less.
While it sounds like those ticket are refundable, that's only true if the pre-discount fare basis was refundable. If the pre-discount fare is non-refundable, then the fly confirmed for less "refundable" ticket is also non-refundable...

Most likely you aren't looking at full fare refundable tickets anyways if you're asking about the discount program ;-)

It's a great program to knock some money off a confirmed ticket when you can't afford to play roulette with non-reving...

Both the fly confirmed for less and the fly confirmed for even less are NON REFUNDABLE.....the website makes it look like one of them is refundable but they are not!!!!!!!

My zip code is 94. Nice to know that my household income is less than the average in my area. No wonder why I feel like I have less than everyone around me. It is because I make less than them. That chart is depressing. Can't wait for my 3 percent raise while everyone else is averaging a 6 percent raise in my area.

you can put your zipcode in there as well. When you look at it you realize where the money is.
Jeez... I went from 95 to 3, guess that's what happens when you go PBGC. Where is the block cheese line in this burg?

Also, you get 2 free checked bags with "fly confirmed for even less," so that might save you some money too if you got lot of bags. However, if the bag is overweight (50lbs I think), you still have to pay overweight bag fee, so use 2 smaller bags instead of 1 huge. That was the $75 lesson I learned...

I wonder how current the data is... but with the drawdown of NASA and related contractors, I am wondering if the number is not higher... smaller? But at any rate, come on down, the water's fine and housing's inexpensive and available.
