[quote=Anonymous]We got super crazy cheap tickets to Europe in the summer but also had to go out of JFK.  We were going to drive and do long term parking, but had a narrow window for the drive, so finally decided to fly, so spent $600 on tickets.  And then a thunderstorm blew through, so we missed our flight, and since they weren't linked, we were pretty screwed.  Made it to JFK, and took a taxi to a cheap hotel ($20, $100).  Ate breakfast the next morning at a diner ($40), walked around, taxied back to airport ($20) and then waited for the international desks to open up.  Mercifully got put on the same flight just a day later with no fee!  But to get seats together had to upgrade one seat ($40).  Ate lunch and dinner in airport.  ($50).  Plus had to buy some stuff for kids to keep them happy ($40).

On the trip back, we took the LIRR to Penn station (whatever that was, $20?), bought dinner at Penn ($60), then Amtrak to DC ($350), then Uber ($12).

Don't be like us.  That cost us $1352, which would have added $338 to each ticket, which was pretty close to the price it would have been to fly out of Dulles (though Dulles would have cost us long term parking).

Stupid, stupid, stupid.  [/quote]
