My mom called to tell me my great-aunt passed away this morning. She had had some form of Alzheimer's/ Dementia for the last several years so it wasn't that surprising, but I would still like to attend the funeral. She never married or had children, so growing up she was like a second grandma to me. So, I decided that it is well worth it to spend the $180.79 on a plane ticket to OH tomorrow and will drive down to WV with my mom for the funeral on Weds.
Buying a plane ticket last minute like this made me realize just how difficult it is when you have to buy something right now and can't really wait for a cheaper rate. I compared several different travel websites including Expedia, Priceline, and Orbitz as well as individual airline websites. I got the best deal on Orbitz and was happy to see that they offer a Price Insurance guarantee which means if someone books the same flight at a cheaper price, they will send a refund check. I also paid using my Discover card, so I should get some cashback since I purchased my tickets through "ShopDiscover."
