Go Somewhere Random for Thanksgiving
I have absolutely no plans for Thanksgiving but have a four day weekend. I was planning on taking a trip to Vegas, but I don't think I want to do that. I can go to AC for a lot cheaper.
So I decided that I might like to just go somewhere random. I'm in NYC and would like to fly to one city for 3 or 4 days. Here are my constraints: - Due to the short time period, it has to be no more than a 10 hour flight. Even that would be pushing it. - I'm Canadian so I don't want to do any Canadian city since I can do it some other time and do it a lot better. - The same applies to American cities although if someone felt really strongly about a West Coast American city I'd consider it. - Mexico is out since I spent a bunch of time there recently. - I'd like to do it as cheap as possible, but I'm willing to spend around a grand. Maybe even 1500 if I thought it was worth it. Any ideas on how I can get cheap flights and what places I should consider? I use to hear about people that would just go to the airport and get cheap flights to someplace on a flight that wasn't full. Does that work? I kind of like the idea of just going to an airport and finding a random flight. Any ideas on websites that might be helpful? Really, any advice at all that you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated. |

Re: Go Somewhere Random for Thanksgiving
Maybe I should also post some places I'd be interested in:
- Rome, I was there for a couple of days as a teenager and loved the history. I could easily spend a couple of days there and love it. - Paris, there's lots to see, and more importantly take the opportunity to visit some WWII sites that are on my list of places to see before I die. - Scotland/Ireland. Seems like a fun place to go. I like drinking places, but I also enjoy historical sites and things like that. |

Australia
They're having a national election on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. What could be more fun than that? Well, you did ask for random [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

I'd love to go to Australia, but the flight would probably kill me. Two 20+ hour flights when I only have 96 hours is a little too much.

Re: Go Somewhere Random for Thanksgiving
I would choose somewhere in Europe: Paris or Lisbon sound good. Maybe San Sebastien in Basque country. BEST FOOD EVER. You would have to fly through Madrid I think. Might be a bit of travel for 3 days. The "showing up the airport to see what's available" just means flying stand-by. If you have such a short period of time, probably not worth not being able to get a flight somewhere.
Sounds awesome, wish I could do the same. |
