you will most likely end up in the 'C' boarding group.
Weird, they did it on the 2nd when I flew from MDW...They don't do the boarding group thing anymore... But I am told some Jack-ass still stand and wait in line...
I think most of the majors military fares are a sham. Anytime I call they say there are no more military fares available. WTF?!?
The one airline I swear by though is Southwest. Everytime I call them and ask for a military fare they come through. It won't be as cheap as the cheapest online prices, but if you are short notice and the only fares are full price you will save. The only bad part is you can't check in online because they need to see your military ID, so you will most likely end up in the 'C' boarding group.
Another reason I love Southwest: their cancellation policy. Even if you have a non-refundable ticket they will at least give you full credit for the price you paid if you have to cancel. Yeah it's not as good as cash, but any other airline charges at least a $50 cancellation fee per ticket. I have cancelled many times with Southwest and they always give me full credits, and that's not just military.
My favorite is kayak.com. It searches every broker site and every airline site all at one time. It's like dogpile.com for travel. After that it's onto Hotwire and the William Shatner site.
Good point. Not when I was there.But does Southwest operate in Pensacola? I was going to say ExpressJet but they don't operate either. American is probably your best bet.
