Buying my Plane Ticket

Well, I just got off the phone with LTU (Luft Transport Unternehmen). My flight details are as follows:

Depart: Fort Myers Airport June 23 at 4:40pm
Arrive: Duesseldorf International June 24 at 7:40am

Depart: Duesseldorf International July 28 at 10:40am
Arrive: Fort Myers Airport July 28 at 2:45pm

Total Cost: $1076.

I actually called LTU three times today, first to check pricing, then to pay, but I forgot my credit card, then I called again after retrieving my card and I got a nice lady who confirmed the price of $1124,14, to which I replied "Unless you can do anything better!" and she asked me my age and I said "20", and she asked me to hold a moment. She got me a $50 discount for being young :-D scweeeeet!

I was going to book with Condor until I found out that all their Germany flights from Orlando connect in Frankfurt. I'd rather drive to Fort Myers than connect in Frankfurt... plus, its cheaper! I'll have to take a train from Duesseldorf into Muenster, but that's ok, its not a long ride from what I understand.

And to think I was about to book a connecting flight with Condor for $1178 yesterday, which just went up to $1204 today, which is over my credit limit by $4 and I want the cash back from using my card so I couldn't get that flight anyway.

Well no more worrying about getting flights anymore, at least. Now its plan, pack, plan, plan, get a Visa, plan, pack, pack, pack, pack, GO.

Auf Wiedersehen!
