well you said taht you couldn't get flights cause they were to expensive,
but here's a shot. airtran does a nice feature called x-fares.it is one rung
below standby. the beauty is , is that for 60 bucks (52 and tax) you can fly
from here to any airport they go to (one way). all you do is show up and
say, i want to fly x-fares to blahblahblah , get your pass and go to the
gate, check in with gate personal, if there is room on the plane, (you'll
know about 1 min bfore they close the hatch) they call you, you pay, you
fly, you get happy in new orleans. Just my $0.02 , i did it to boston and it
was fairly easy. just check the flight times beofre hand and give yourself 2
hours min beofre departure to get through securitry etc.. (i kid you not
about this. took 30 to get to counter then an hour to get through security)
and this was at 8 am.    flights are everyday EXCET friday and sunday. you
can check there web page for departure times to various cities.
