    A couple times a buddy and I would take what we called “mystery vacations” where you walk into the airport and ask if they need any seats filled ASAP because you can haggle them down to crazy prices.

    You just don’t know where you’re going ahead of time and you’ll have to figure out your return flight.

    But I flew from Atlanta International to Denver International for $45 once.

        From talking to other people online, it seems to still be possible in the states.

        Just be ready for rejection, and for the people at the ticket counters to be really confused about what you’re trying to do haha.
