The dollar bill 'raffle' on delayed airplane flights: anyone played it

The dollar bill 'raffle' on delayed airplane flights: anyone played it?
A few years ago, I was on an American Airlines flight from San Jose to Las Vegas, and we had to wait "on the tarmac" for about an hour before we could take off. To help pass the time, the flight attendants said we were going to play a game. Everyone who wished to participate took out a $1 bill. We each wrote our seat number on our bill. An attendant collected all the bills in a bag, and then had a child pull one bill from the bag. The person whose seat number was written on that bill won ALL the bills! :) Ever since, I have asked quite a few people (who fly more often than I do) about this dollar bill "raffle", but NO one has ever played this game on a delayed flight, or any flight for that matter! I wonder if it's unique to American Airlines, or perhaps it's unique to flights going to Vegas? Anyhoo, I'm curious if anyone here on Yahoo has heard of this game, and/or played it?

Never, but it seems like a great way to make a bad situation, like a delayed flight, better.

I've never heard of it, but it sounds neat.

What if you did that on a 747-400? You know that double-decker jumbo jet?

Traveling on a weekend Fri and return Sun brings up the cost. Best is Monday thru Thurs. Try Southwest which seems to be one of the cheapest these days or Alaska Some of the prices are cheap for only a short time so when you find one grab it. But don't forget the hotel reservations

You may try www.expedia.com,www.cheapoair.com,www.priceline.com. www.kayak.com to search your cheap flights to Las Vegas.

You can find the cheapest flight from the Bay area to Vegas on Southwest Airlines. They also offering a $75 off. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cheap-flights.php You should also do a search on kayak engine. It will check all airlines and all major travel sites and return the cheapest fare.

Geez .. nothing like waiting until the last moment. Because of waiting like that you will pay more than if you would have booked further in advance. Weds is the best day to fly for price. However if you go to www.sidestep.com I found the cheapest out of San Francisco via Virgin America at $175 each. That is the best. Next time plan further in advance to take advantage of discounts.
5 :
Thursday's fares are at $164, Friday's are at $126, and Sunday's are at $154. If there is any way you could leave on Saturday and return on Tuesday (20-23), the fares are only $59 each way out of San Francisco on southwest. Of the three airports, those were the cheapest. http://www.southwest.com/cgi-bin/lowFareFinder?ss=0&disc=0:19:1221247628.123127:19049@B60746E64D92D4DED3CF6D0B799373619DE56DF1 With this, the total price for 3 tickets is $415.50. That's only $138 each. Using Bookingbuddy.com, Virgin America has fares for $206. https://www.orbitz.com/Secure/ViewFlightInformation?gcid=C11287x357&WT.mc_ev=click&WT.mc_id=e98&retrieveParams=true&z=8224&r=2&z=8226&r=4&lastPage=interstitial

Crater Lake is found in Southwest Oregon and the second deepest lake in North America (1,932 ft/589 m) and it was previously called Deep Blue Lake in 1853 because of its deep blue color. It was renamed Crater Lake in 1869. Crater Lake was formed by volcanic activity of Mt. Mazama. Crater Lake is the seventh deepest lake in the world.

Check travelocity and expedia. They will compare airlines for you.
2 :
the lowest rates should be on this website http://www.LouMarTravel.com Copa - Compania Panamena is the cheapest Airline followed by TACA
3 :
Try Kayak.com, it will search all of the airline and travel websites, always providing the lowest fares. I have used kayak on multiple occasions and it is excellent. Be sure to double check on the airline websites, just to be sure that the one listed on Kayak is the lowest.

COPA or TACA Now, if you live in USA, you cannot buy these tickets on line, but a travel agency can. (security reasons and fraud)
5 :
Did you consider contacting a travel agent? They get paid to find out those things for you.
