Is it best to book a flight asap or wait til two weeks in advance when it comes to price?
I want the cheapest price possible and I hear 2 weeks before is a good bet. I'm going to Los Angeles from Memphis.

it's best when you book Always

The longer in advance you buy the cheaper it becomes. For instance, (in AUD) I traveled from Sydney to Perth, booked at last minute with Qantas for $200 return. In the same instance, 4 weeks prior to traveling, I only paid $180 return. It pays off to book beforehand by as long as possible!

Sooner is almost always better.

Los Angeles, CA (LAX) to Memphis, TN (MEM) well here is a price quote for a flight 2 weeks from today http://farecast.live.com/flightSearch.do?t=r&vo1=Los+Angeles%2C+CA+%28LAX%29+-+Los+Angeles+International+Airport&o=LAX&ve1=Memphis%2C+TN+%28MEM%29+-+Memphis+International+Airport&e=MEM&d1=03%2F04%2F2009&r1=03%2F18%2F2009&p=1&b=COACH and here is a quote 6 months from now http://farecast.live.com/flightSearch.do?t=r&vo1=Los+Angeles%2C+CA+%28LAX%29+-+Los+Angeles+International+Airport&o=LAX&ve1=Memphis%2C+TN+%28MEM%29+-+Memphis+International+Airport&e=MEM&d1=08%2F19%2F2009&r1=09%2F09%2F2009&p=1&b=COACH looks like you would save $150.00 in this example if you wait until 2 weeks before but remember its a gamble and you have to be flexible on times and non stop vs 1 stop I prefer to spend about $100.00 more round trip for non stop on cross country flights its worth it to me. if you do a non stop then from your house to your final destination (hotel, friends home, whereever) is about 8 to 9 hrs travel time. Most people don't remember that you have to be at the airport one to one and half hours before your flight takes off. then cross country flights are 5-6 hrs non stop. then get from the airport to where you are going in MEM is about hour. It adds up quick. now if you throw in a layover in some other state thats a leeast 2 hours more of travel time. You pay $100 or less to get rid of 2hr layover out and back you just saved 4 hours of your life traveling and you can do something else with the time. Like eating something other than airport food. So anyways the website i use has price pretiction software give you an educated guess if the fare is going to go up or down in the next seven days. I booked a trip to Cabo San Lucas using this website last month and I had been watch the fares for 6 mos they started at 550.00 round trip and last month I found a fare for 251.00 I saved 300.00 bucks times 2 people 600.00 total savings. So put in your travel dates and register on the website an they will e mail you the price update everyday. Another website if you have flexible travel dates is www.hotwire.com you can do a flexible date search and it will show you the cheapest days to travel and the dates. they dont show you the airlines or the flight itiniery until you buy the tickets so that kinda stinks Good luck

Go to www.tripadvisor.com which compare prices on all of the discount sites. Your city codes are MEM and PHX. The farther in advance you purchase, the lower the price. And Southwest does not fly from Memphis, so that is not an option.
2 :
If you book your air tickets through web travel portal, you will definitely cut the extra expenses and it will be a money saving step. It is always better to book your flight well in advance to get the benefit of special offers and discounts.If you book your flight at weekend, the ticket costs more money because most people travel on weekends. According to your requirement, I would like to suggest you one reliable site for your cheapest airfare. All the Best

Smart, Enthusiastic, Self motivated, Energetic, Polite and all the adjective possible. The make around 3000-5000$ per month. The best place to live is near the airport where the airline regularly fly. No specific place suggestion. For any kind of career related questions see the link below: http://www.ugrowu.com/postprofessional_intro

The city to live in would depend on the airline and where you will be based out of. The amount you make will vary on this as well. FA are paid by the hours that they work and are hourly.

Try Amtrak. Memphis is a really expensive city to fly into due to airport fees or something. I have to fly there and can never find cheap tickets. Good luck.

If you fly out of Newarlk Liberty (EWR) you could pay close to US$250.00 if you book tweek in advance with US Air. Set back is they have a 75 minute lay over so you would take 4 hours to land (if no weather at computer delay) in TN. https://www.orbitz.com/Secure/ViewFlightInformation?gcid=C11287x059&WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_id=e28&retrieveParams=true&z=49b6&r=2&z=49b8&r=4&lastPage=interstitial

maybe you can build a crate and ship yourself to mEMphis. it would be an adventure.

The best advice I can give you is to BOOK EARLY. My favorite places for tickets are: cheapoair.com and cheaptickets.com they literally have some of the lowest prices I've seen, and I fly from NY to Florida (with a connection, sometimes in Atlanta (once in Memphis)) about once every two months to visit my boyfriend. Once I book those tickets, I call up the airline that I went with, and pick out my seats, etc.
