I’m living close to the Miss. State Univerisity. It’s close to the airports of Columbus, MS, also Tupelo, MS and Tuscloosa, AL. I search almost all ticket websites but the prices are much to high.
Sure I know the way to buy tickets from Jackson, MS or Birmingham or Memphis. However these cities are a little far away and the gas would cost a lot if I drive there.
When I was in northwest, it was easy to find cheap tickets from internet, even small airports.
