Southwest flight barely misses collision at Chicago Midway International
Southwest flight barely misses collision at Chicago Midway International
A Southwest Airlines flight was forced to perform a go-around maneuver at Chicago Midway International Airport when a private jet crossed its path on the runway Tuesday morning.

Deal.
I'm thinking this could work out as rather antisemitic.
Those French are known to be unbelievable airmen growing up in the Apls (yes I know Red Bull is Austrian).
Too many White people on the plane to be 2024.
Alright, I know this thread makes this look like insanity, but.... I have to fly soon. Anyone know any tips and tricks to find the best way to find a fair airfare?
Should I just go to cheaptix or justfly and choose the cheapest one?
Should I wait until some time of day to order tickets?
Should I bother downloading some app from Expedia or whoever, or are tickets the same price from the website?
Hopefully this isn't a dumb or bothersome post.(Mods take it down if it is.) I usually just drive everywhere. Also, it might be helpful to have some information compiled in a post or two to help those of us who have to fly for whatever reason.

Just use Google Flights to find tickets, then follow their link to the airlines website and book.
For domestic, usually cheapest to book 6-8 weeks out. For long distance international flights, it's like 8-12 weeks out. Unless you're flying over a high demand period like late December, then the earlier the better.
I just use Expedia or Booking and compare the costs.
A lot has changed since my early frequent international travel days. Back then, I used Cheapair.com and Farecompare.com sites to search for affordable tickets, but I noticed the sites are not the same because they seems to have been taken over by dishonest outside groups (i.e, foreigners such as Indians, Chinese, etc.).
Do a price comparison between the two.
Theory is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are the days to check for good deals. (I always check on Tuesdays.) Another theory is that the airlines' ticketing systems go through some kind of updates to clean up the ticketing systems on a Monday (I.e., travelers who cancelled or changed their tickets -- ticketing system needs to be refreshed/updated).
I am old school. I always print the tickets to have a hard copy (paper). I don't trust airlines/airports mobile phone app bombarding me with ads, deals, download more apps, etc.
I resumed my international travel two years ago so I will need to do some more research on what the most popular travel websites to buy tickets.
Farecompare.com and Cheapoair.com were so good -- I.e., when selecting a travel date range, it displayed an average ticket cost. Fantastic tool back then. Now majority of sites suck so bad -- it is like the tools are written by H1B Indian workers.
Indians pooping in the aisle.
I see no pooping.
This is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thank you!
