Discount One Way

I head to the bargain airlines and bargain websites to do my own searching and pair up the cheapest one way flights to make my round trip travel literary. Early morning weekends and those lovely red eyes will typically find me my best bargains. I can remember a couple of good travel agents I used to use regularly, I am sure they got different jobs long ago.

I still love the thought of business class and definitely first class, but except for international travel it is just not so important any more. The leg room, comfy seats, free drinks, linens, dishware and food, awe those were the days. Gone from the pocket book of reason. I just can’t justify luxurious air travel any more.

Cheap one way doesn’t include business or first class travel. Give me the window for long flights and the aisle for short hoppers used to be my standard charge. I had specific rows and seats I liked best. Ha! Now it’s just get me there the cheapest one way I can find and I will get my self home the same way. I pack light, bring my own food and water, if security doesn’t take them away, plug in my head phones and take myself to another space and time.

I’m lucky I can sleep on the plane, and do as much as possible. There are airlines that come and go, trying to compete in the cheapest one way arena. The only one for me remains Southwest Airlines. They may not be as unique, with their cattle car boarding practices, peanuts only food choice and ex-fighter pilot speed-demon pilots, but they still do the cheapest one way.

Patience I think is what living the cheapest one way lifestyle has taught me. I’ve learned to take the lines, the crowds, the hassles, the costs, the delay, etc., pretty much in stride. I read, play games, listen to tunes, and just let it all roll off my shoulders. My motto is simple these days; I’ll get there when I get there, cheapest one way.
